4.5 of 5 stars~ Review by PizzyGirlFor original review see Prism Book AllianceApollo’s Curse by Brad Vance was a unique reading experience. This was my first foray into Mr. Vance’s works and it was not what I expected. It was not an erotic experience; it was a true romance with very little sex. If you are looking for HOT, steamy sex, this is not for you. But if you are looking for something meaningful that will appeal to your sense of adventure and warm your heart, then I highly recommend this book.I loved the concept of a romance writer needing to find romance in his own life. I enjoyed the insight into the mind and processes of being an author. The fact that Dane’s writing journey morphs into a real life journey was artfully developed and creatively executed. Dane’s journey to find his purpose in life takes the reader on a fantastic journey to find the Dane’s mysterious Muse. The suspense grows as Dane’s time runs short. Brad Vance makes writing seem easy (but if you read this, you will see that it is not). Well done Mr. Vance, well done.I loved the way this was written in Dane’s voice. The narration enhanced my understanding of Dane and his journey and I really connected with him. It was well written and flowed easily. I was pulled in from the very beginning and was help captive throughout most of the tale. However, I did have one complaint. I felt that part 3 was too slow. I LOVED the references to mythology, but I did not understand the purpose of most of part 3.Overall, Apollo’s Curse by Brad Vance was fantastic. It had humor, emotions, love, and one really blind man who I wanted to smack upside his head and scream “OPEN YOUR EYES!” I loved it. Oh and the chapter titles are great!
