Wow. This book had me intrigued from the moment I first heard of it. The journey Atalanta goes through, and the trials she endures, and the ones she chooses, all make her a heroine worthy of a thousand songs, at at least one amazing book. This book is a tale of adventure at its heart and that was definitely something I didn’t know I needed. Saint is wonderful at creating grounded characters, and while I expected a couple of the twists, I found myself flawed by the ending. Can’t wait for this book to be out so I can get my own copy

The first section and the last 30 odd pages were fantastic. The middle was fine but nothing special. 3.5 overall
