The Scarlet Star by Jennifer Kropf

Fairytale Retelling

The way this book filled my Romantasy cup while also filling my spiritual cup was incredible. I absolutely love the beauty and the beast retelling aspect of this with the broken to healing and emotional romance bond. You get a sweet romance filled with the absolute best tension ❤️‍🔥 slow burn and our characters just can’t tell how the other one really feels, but that obvious tension is there! The depth of the spiritual world and political intrigue was incredible. And then the connections to the story of Esther and Ephesians 6 was perfection. I love how the author melds the spiritual aspect into the story in a way that fits so well. Nothing feels obvious, but it just feels right.
I am fully vested in this story and cannot wait for book two.

Side note: the way faith is written into this story was absolute perfection. As someone who loves Ephesians 6, incorporating little hints at those elements of faith and trust and prayer and spiritual battles were such a lovely touch and I left feeling inspired and connected. It was wonderful, and I have already told every person I’ve talked to about this book 😁

This was a darkish feeling fantasy world, with a sweet slow burn romance. 🫑 (swoony no spice romance)
