The Sun and Moon beneath the Stars by K. Parr

Shoutout to Netgalley and Ninestar Press for the early review copy. I am getting this review up just in time for its publication on Monday, so keep your eyes peeled for this release.
First off, can we take a moment to appreciate that beautiful cover? Those colors are stunning!
Rasha knows she is sometimes possessed by the moon goodess, but she doesn’t know why. All she wants to do is to save her brother, who is possessed by the sun god. She’ll have to team up with a princess with whom she has a past, two young thieves, and a man she wronged in the past, also a lizard like creature whose people fight for the other side to beat the deities and rescue her brother.
It took me a bit to get into the story, but once I got the lay of the land, I feel in love with this band of misfits. It’s a classic quest tale with some good queer representation. The romance is sweet and age-appropriate. I also appreciated that it wasn’t the main focus of the story, but rather develops pretty naturally over the course of their journey, an enemies to love interests thing. There’s magic, which is always a good thing, and there’s some pretty cool lore/mythology along the way.
