Happy Pride and Fantasy Friday! I hope the week has treated you well! (If not draw your swords and ATTACK!!!!)

This week for Fantasy Friday, I did a re-read in preparation for my diving into the second book in the series and today, I am going to be discussing The Curse of the Goddess by C.C. Gonzalez.

The Oracle foretold that Princess Valda Aither of the Sky Kingdom would discover her mate on her twenty-fifth birthday. They would lock eyes and find each other, as has happened since the dawn of time. Valda desperately wanted to believe the Oracle, but her hopes of finding her soulmate were shattered when she inexplicably lost her vision during her birthday celebration. Needing time to heal and adapt to her new reality, she was assigned an assistant, a young woman named Maris Era, who set her body and mind ablaze.

This book was HOT, SAPPHIC, and had references to Greek Mythology?!?

If you know me, you'll know that I adore mythos, so when I first read this book, it threw me for a loop but also had me enthralled. The way it wove in mentions of the Greek Gods was seamless and enhanced the story; creating a world that was gorgeous and wonderful.

This is a world in which the gods have left but bestowed certain humans with magic of elemental manipulation, and thus being placed in positions of authority. We also get to see how the actions of the gods and those that were placed in power have affected those whom they rule over.

And the spice is SPICY!!!! HOLY CANNOLI. I am blushing at the scenes still!

I am picking up the second book as soon as I finish reading my graphic novel palate cleanser, and then I will be having a bit more of an in depth review as well as touch on the social commentaries within the narrative as well!

But, I know I just want to yap about this book!
