[Following is a volunteer review of "Star Bright" by A. F. Carcirieri, Jr.]
With 16 chapters that tell different tales, Star Bright by A. F. Carcirieri, Jr. is set to dazzle fans with historical content, whether fictional or not. The narrative is set primarily around the planet Venus. The author shares a side of the popular narrative about Lucifer's downfall in the first chapter. In the story, we see how man was eventually created and the role of angels in heaven. In the next chapter, we are introduced to a mystical river girl, Shay Op Ta, a devoted worshipper of the goddess Inanna. In chapter three, we see a man on the quest for love. He becomes so desperate that he prays to the goddess of love, Aphrodite, to grant him love, but will this man get what he wants?
The fourth chapter is a popular Bible story about Ahab and Jezebel. Other chapters revolve around historical stories and myths, both famous ones and nonfamous ones. From thousands of BCEs to the 19th century, the book offers tales that could pique readers' interests while subtly referencing the planet Venus. Notice how the third chapter talks about Aphrodite, the Greek equivalent of the Roman god Venus; also, in the second chapter, we see the Mesopotamian goddess Inanna, whom some might argue is a variant of the Roman and Greek gods. With enough information, interested readers can decide whether they want this book.
I like this book a lot. My favorite story came in the 11th chapter, as it is a story about a couple. The narrative perfectly pictured Europe in the 19th century and the French Revolution. Napoleon Bonaparte also became a character of interest in the chapter, so I learned about the historical figure. Another quality aspect of this book is that the author uses an engaging writing style, and to crown it all, he ensured that the book was flawlessly edited because I did not seem to stop for any errors while I was reading.
The disturbing thing about this book was that it was lengthy, and thus, readers are prone to experiencing lulls. While chapter 11 was my favorite chapter, it did have its drawbacks as it was so prolonged. The chapter had about 330 pages, which comprise nearly half the book. However, I enjoyed all the stories it had to tell. I rate this book a perfect rating of 5 out of 5 stars for these positive reasons. I recommend it to fans of historical fiction, as it will appeal well to such an audience.
