A woman has taken to TikTok<\/a> to share how she was \u201cfreaking out the whole time\u201d over her \u201cfirst six-star read of 2025\u201d.<\/p>\n Gretch said that she was texting all of her friends as she was reading it, recommending it to them, saying it was a \u201cneed\u201d for them to read it.<\/p>\n She then joked that she was \u201ccrashing out\u201d when she found out that \u201cbook<\/a> two won\u2019t be available until November\u201d.<\/p>\n So, what\u2019s the book which has Gretch in such a chokehold?<\/p>\n It\u2019s Heavenly Bodies by Imani Erriu, but what does Goodreads say about it? It\u2019s rated 4.02, and a description reads: \u201cIn a world where no entities exist but the Stars, cruel and merciless gods that watch over the world, Elara has been cursed by fate. A prophecy that promises she will fall for a Star, and it will kill them both.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cBut 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.<\/p>\n \u201cAs she learns more about her own magic, and the depth of the Stars’ deceit, she also finds herself learning more about the country she is forced to take refuge in, and the enemy prince forced to train her into a weapon.<\/p>\n \u201cSomething dark brews within her, a power made of night and shadows that begs to be broken free.\u201d<\/p>\n Gretch said that she could \u201cnot stop thinking about this book,\u201d saying that it has \u201ceverything you would want out of a book if you are a romantasy reader\u201d and she described it as \u201cinsane\u201d.<\/p>\n She said that the book contains \u201celements of Greek mythology and astrology,\u201d which are two things she \u201cloves\u201d so she said \u201chaving the two things together in one book was the best thing to read\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n She explained the plot, saying that the romantic \u201ctension\u201d between two of the characters was \u201cjust so good\u201d because there was an enemies-to-lovers trope running through it too, with plenty of \u201cbanter\u201d.<\/p>\n Gretch said that the book does \u201csuch a good job with the world building,\u201d and it\u2019s paced perfectly.<\/p>\n She described it as an \u201call encompassing story that you just immediately get sucked into\u201d.<\/p>\n She also likened it to Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas, so if you enjoyed that, she reckons you\u2019ll love this, and she did point out that it\u2019s \u201cstill incredibly original\u201d.<\/p>\n At the end of the video, she asked for recommendations of similar books, too, highlighting how much she loved it.<\/p>\n For more book recommendations, reviews and news, you can also click here<\/a> to subscribe to our free weekly newsletter, The Bookish Drop<\/a>, on Substack. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
