I'm not into historical fiction but these stories linked to Venus that are set in different historical periods make me curious for this mix of elements. Thank you for your great review!
Ciao :)

An interesting historical fiction novel "Star Bright" by A. F. Carcirieri, which has a lot of references to planet Venus, goddess Venus, Lucifer and God. I want to read this book.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

The book sounds amazing. Each chapter tells a different story related to goddess venus. Are these stories completely fiction or are they made around how people of different times prayed to goddess venus?

This review is thorough. I commend Carcirieri's for making the narration of this book simple and straightforward. With the artistic use of imagery and excellent character development, I think readers will have a great time reading this book. However, I hope the lengthy nature of this book won't put me off.

This looks like a compilation of several short stories, which is a concept I love. However, the length of chapter 11, sounds a bit disproportionate compared to the other chapters.

Every chapter is a different story bringing Gods and legends back to life makes this book quite promising and interesting read. I am not sure if I will like the structure chosen by the author, because I more enjoy stories with continuation, but I am willing to give it a try thanks to stellar review.

The chapter on Lucifer's rebellion on God would get you hooked on the book. That and how the book develops makes it a must read

That's quite a number of pages but the book sounds interesting. I like that though each story describes a separate event and features different characters all of them have so to say a common ground and the actions of characters in one story could affect characters in another story. It will be interesting to read the book. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

I like that the book is inspired by history. From the review of this book, I can see that the book has several chapters, some, like the first chapter, even touching on religion. This would be a great book to learn about history and get entertained by the imaginative mind of the author as he explores the Planet Venus. Great review.
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

It is interesting that the author chose the planet Venus as a common element in all the stories. A. F. Carcirieri, Jr. he thoroughly studied mythology and religion as a basis for his book. I like that the characters are dynamic.
