Description

A god fighting his fate. A prince burdened with secrets. And a romance that could end in flames.
Apollo is a deity… almost. Half mortal and refusing to take his position as god of the sun, he spends his nights drowning out haunting memories and his days avoiding responsibilities.
Until his father forces him into an ultimatum:
Ascend immediately.
Or spend the year mentoring under the obnoxious Prince Hyacinth.
Forced together, Apollo and Hyacinth grapple with their mutual disdain for each other.
But what starts as a kindling of irritation begins to burn into something new. A spark that, if it turns to flame, could incinerate everything they’ve always protected.
A reimagining of the Greek myth of Apollo and Prince Hyacinth, this NA, enemies-to-lovers fantasy series is a whirlwind journey full of romance, intrigue, and enthralling characters.
NOTE: This book is the first in a NA Fantasy series that features mature situations, adult language, and romances that lead to moderate steam as the series progresses.

Eine nette Lektüre für zwischendurch. Das Pacing habe ich als eher unausgeglichen empfunden mit einigen Sprüngen, die es mir schwer gemacht haben, mich voll emotional zu investieren. Einige wichtige, sozialkritische Themen werden angeschnitten (Frauenrechte u.a.), weben sich aber nicht glatt in die Handlung ein, weil der Handlungsstrang um Epiphany eher isoliert wirkte und die beiden Handlungsstränge sich nur an wenigen Stellen gut ergänzt haben. Auch die Sprache wirkte bisweilen unpassend modern für das Setting. Die Romanze zwischen Hyacinth und Apollo ist trotzdem süß, aber insgesamt macht der Roman auf mich den Eindruck, als wolle er zuviel.

DNF at 45% I had so much hopes for this book. But it’s taking for ever for something to happen.
