Moderate: Gore, Incest, Infidelity, Misogyny, Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, and Forced institutionalization
Rape and assault content is frequent, but not overly explicit. Still, common throughout the book, and occurs with most character’s plots.imageryx's review against another edition

I will say, the middle part of this book was a slog. The author had to set up a lot to really drive the ending home. It picks up again in the last quarter.

I didn't know I was longing for a woman-centric take of mythology and one that challenges the notion of monstrosity and evil women, but I was so utterly captivated by Natalie Haynes' fresh and witty take on well-trodden ground.
Of course, many parts are deeply sad, but it's filled with humour, pathos and intention, so I can't really resent it. Also, most of the plot is pretty established...being based on Greek myths and all that.
