pickThe book begins with a journey into mysticism, but soon pulls you into the heartache of an abandoned daughter, a lovesick soul, and a mother who is both delicate and fierce. She alchemized her pain into profound knowledge, but the world couldn‘t understand it, calling her a witch. Yet, she wore the label like a crown 👑, owning it with the strength and dignity of a queen. 🔮
pick4.25/5 I loved this book! I was really disappointed at the ending (no spoilers) but I‘m looking forward to the next book in the series!
so-soA novel based on the story of Clytemnestra in the Greek myths was never going to be a light read, but this one felt exceptionally heavy, with no light relief, and some heavy-handed writing and clumsy metaphors.

I wasn‘t sure about this book at first, but I‘m really starting to enjoy it! I think Daxon agrees lol.
pickDRAMA ✨ giggles ✨DRAMA ✨giggles ♥️ heartfelt talk ♥️ DRAMA ✨ giggles ✨DRAMA ✨giggles ✨DRAMA!!! I find this a winning pattern. The art is by turns beautiful, inventive and hilarious, and the plot bounces between tense interpersonal stuff and wholesome vulnerable stuff and truly ridiculous stuff. Still my favourite portrayal of the Olympians, especially Hades and Persephone. 1/2
pickLoved Atalanta‘s perspective of traveling with the Argonauts & all that came after. The beginning was a bit dry, but I appreciated the depiction of the different phases of her life & the achievements she made & resilience displayed. Touched on many well known myths.
Honesty and communication: hallelujah. 👏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻

pickAbsolutely flipping brilliant. I‘m a lifelong Greek mythology nerd and his telling of these stories was a breath of fresh air. And the humor! Loved it.
