Heavenly Bodies
Heavenly Bodies | Imani Erriu
In a world ruled by the Stars, cruel and merciless gods that watch over the world, Elara has been cursed by fate. A prophecy that promises that she will fall for a Star, and it will kill them both. But when one descends to wreak havoc on Elara's kingdom, she is forced to flee into the arms of her enemy in the neighbouring country. As she learns more about her own magic, and the depth of the Stars' deceit, she finds herself also learning more about the country she takes refuge in, and the enemy prince forced to train her into a weapon. Something dark brews within her, a power made of night and shadows, that begs to be broken free. A stunning debut novel, Erriu weaves romance, intrigue and mythology together, all against the backdrop of a fantasy world you will never want to leave.

Mehso-so

Impressive worldbuilding and intriguing magical system.
The love interest was directly expressed from the beginning, contradicting a slow burn romance. The steamy scenes were nice and intimacy was displayed also beyond that. The MMC was a bit cartoonishly displayed, associated with the popular "book boyfriend material" with the "touch her and you'll die" vibes.
The fast pace related to the "save the world mission" didn't do the story justice.
