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

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

This book was amazing! I’ve always enjoyed Greek mythology, and have read a lot of books that use it as part of their premise, as well as just reading the myths themselves. I’ve never read a book quite like this one though. I was enthralled. The different characters and their individual perspectives, even as they struggled with similar dilemmas was beautifully written. The growth of the characters as well as their relationship building was wonderfully done. Temi and Pip are these fabulously fierce friends pushing gender norms in a place where that would be looked down upon while Cyn and Apollo were just hiding their true selves like so many of us do. Watching them open up and understand each other was beautiful. Their story is definitely far from over, but oh what a magical beginning!
