Mediocre in every way.
The writing didn’t pull me in. The characters were flat & I just couldn’t care about them.
The story still had the dark and rough parts (cause mythology) but the writing & characters did not make it worth it.
Still, I’m glad I read it. I love Greek mythology & this had been on my TBR for years…

I love that the prologue could be seen as either sisters perspective.
That being said, I must admit that I detested Helen in this retelling and I don’t think she deserved the ending she got.
