A Veil of Gods and Kings (Apollo Ascending Book 1) by Nicole Bailey – Review by Jenni Bishop

A Veil of Gods and Kings by Nicole Bailey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

MM Greek mythology romance. It is an original story and loose fantasy retelling of Apollo and Prince Hyacinth. I enjoyed the premise of the story but felt that there was so much more the author could have given when it came to the romance side of the story. I felt the story was aimed more towards a younger age group YA or NA as their relationship is an enemy to lovers’ story and is not an explicit steamy romance in the narrative. The story is told from several POV which I love because it gives the characters much more depth. Although I didn’t quite understand Epiphany’s role to be as present as it was but I did like her kicking arse and fighting for what she wanted. I enjoyed the fun and easy banter between some of the characters and enjoyed the historical mythology behind the story. It will be interesting to see what the second book brings.

All in all, it was an interesting and fun tale that those who love Greek mythology retellings and MM enemies to lovers’ romance stories then grab a copy today.
