Star Father

A Novel (Star Mother, Book 2)

De: Charlie N. Holmberg

Narrado por: Karen Chilton

When the heavens go dark, hearts still glow for a mortal woman and a god in an exhilarating fantasy by Charlie N. Holmberg, Wall Street Journal best-selling author of Star Mother.

In a heavenly war, the moon is prevailing....

It happens in an instant, filling Aija with dread: The Sun is suddenly cast from the sky, throwing the Earth into midday darkness. On the fourth day of endless night, Aija finds an unconscious man by the river. His skin is as hot as her lantern’s glass and just as golden. To Aija, a farmhand with the soul of an artist, this beautiful stranger is an inspiration - and a mystery. He calls himself Saiyon. He bleeds light. His friends are celestial. His enemies, godlings of the moon.

Between Aija and Saiyon, attraction grows warmer. For Aija, an unfathomable revelation: she’s falling in love with the earthbound Sun God. When Saiyon’s faltering powers are restored to full glory, what then? There’s a way Aija can become immortal, too. Saiyon can’t support such a risk.

Aija chooses to follow her heart to places darker and more dangerous than she realizes. Whatever sacrifices lie ahead, they’re the only way to make an impossible true love last forever.

another winner by C. Holmberg

A great quest for love that lasts, this story presents Gods that need humans and a human who learns what it takes to love a god.

Great story

Second book in a duology. Loved Star Mother! Huge fan of Charlie N. Holmberg. Loved the Paper Magician series. Great narration. Love mythology. Reading Keeper of Enchanted Rooms next!

Beautifully poetic

This is the second installment of the series. Just as the first, it is beautiful, poetic, creative, well-written, well performed, and captivating. I am looking forward to book 3 of the series.

What a narrator

The story was a little directionless-less seeming in places. However, the narrator carried it off flawlessly. A wonderful voice with excellent range of emotions communicated. I liked the fact that the different voices she read were not the point; rather the storyline was allowed to take center stage.

A beautiful 2nd story in this series

I like the unique way of looking at the realm of celestial‘s. These books have been very enjoyable without being pessimistic or dark. I was the first book and the second are a hero’s journey. This and the previous book are both romance novels, but not in the traditional sense, and they are much more wonderful for it. I appreciate having a little time away from the struggles of the day.
