![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The story includes both Apollo and Hyacinth’s POV, so the reader gets to follow both sides of the story. The romance that forms between Apollo and Hyacinth was a nice slow-burn where their chemistry and connection grew a lot over time. Apollo is sent by Zeus to spend a year with Prince Hyacinth to be mentored to help complete his ascension even though Apollo has no desire to ascend to be the God of the Sun. The story does begin with an introduction to Apollo and many familiar mythological characters, which may seem initially overwhelming to those with zero knowledge, however, I enjoyed how the author laid everything out as it gave a nice set up to the rest of the story. While I am familiar with the tale, I enjoyed how the author made it her own. As I love retellings and I greatly enjoy Greek mythology, this novel seemed like a perfect fit for me. A Veil of Gods and Kings is the first novel in the Apollo Ascending series, which is a retelling of Apollo and Hyacinth (Cyn). ![]()
