Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review an early copy of ‘As Many Souls as Stars’ by Natasha Siegel. This book is a hauntingly beautiful journey through time, magic, and love. Cybil, cursed and seeking freedom, and Miriam, an immortal demon drawn to Cybil’s radiant soul, engage in a centuries-long dance of fate and desire. Their connection is intense, with each lifetime bringing new challenges and deeper bonds. The writing is lyrical, the world-building rich, and the romance? Utterly captivating. It’s a tale of light and shadow, love and sacrifice, that lingers long after the final page. If you’re into epic, time-spanning romances with a touch of the gothic and a lot of heart, this one’s for you.

As Many Souls as Stars was a book that naturally appealed to me on many levels. I loved the dual narrative, which worked really well here. I adored the premise, which was reminiscent of general deals with the devil and, in particular, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. And I liked the different historic periods through which we passed in the course of the story. The story, and the relationship between the two characters held my interest from start to finish, and I thought both characters also developed in believable ways as the story progressed. I would definitely recommend this story to fans of LGBT fantasy and I am giving it 4.5 stars.
