Lisa Paul's Reviews > Bride of the Sun: A Sacrificial Bride Romance (Icarus & Apollo)

Probably closer to a 4.5 star experience. The story is engrossing, it is a very interesting retelling of the Icarus myth. Icarus is not a myth you often see retold. This was truly unique so many ways. It is well written and nicely paced. I enjoyed the spin Jes Drew put on the story; the gender swap, Apollo's visions, women fighting for freedom and choice and control over their own lives and destiny, the hidden identity trope and much much more all come together to create an intriguing tale. I especially enjoyed the way each character went about searching for, finding, choosing and sacrificing for the future they each truly wanted. The tropes and themes are all woven together in an engaging tapestry. There are plenty of elements that are recognizable from Greek mythology and so many more elements that are brand new and fresh.

This is my first taste of Jes Drew and I am excited to dive into more.
