I will say that I definitely struggled quite a bit with starting this one. I normally love short chapters but these were almost too short it was jarring in a way? Especially when I was starting with the audiobook. I was jumping back and forth between digital and audio with this one. Like I would get into the story and what was going on and then new chapter and new chapter title. So I think my biggest struggle with this was the flow and pacing of the book.

Once I got used to that though I started enjoying this a little more. The best way I can describe K. Ancrum's writing style is whimsical. It's very beautiful and when I started connecting to the story and characters a little more it was very moving and emotional. This is a pretty simple and sweet love story, very loosely inspired by the myth of Icarus and Helios. Icarus's backstory and history was very interesting to learn and discover throughout this book. 

I think my favorite thing about this, and why I ended up enjoying it in the end was the depiction of Icarus being such a strong and isolated character and throughout this story becoming so much softer and opening up more with the people he can consider friends. The love he has for his friends and later for Helios feels so soft and warm and I loved that and so atypical from how a lot of relationships and romance is depicted in media. I think it's really worth reading for that alone. I also loved seeing the very difficult relationship he has with his father and how he emotionally handles and deals with that throughout the story. 

Overall if you like more character driven and lyrical stories and don't mind a bit of a slower paced story  I think this is definitely something you can enjoy as well!
