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

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

I absolutely loved this book! When I got to the end and realized that there was a cliffhanger, I was so bummed to have to wait—but then I saw that the next one comes out soon and that made me happy. I love Greek mythology and new versions of the old stories I have heard before. I am fascinated by the world of Olympus and the gods and goddesses that live there. This book tells the story of Apollo before he ascends, and his stay with Prince Hyacinth as demanded by his father Zeus. Apollo is a lovable character despite his flaws and the journey he goes on with Cin is page-turning. I also loved the supporting characters like Pip and Temi. There were some things that I expected to happen since I know the original stories of Apollo, but I definitely loved this retelling. I am very excited for the second book to be released!
