adventurous dark emotional mysterious tense

“By the gods—sea, fire, and women are the three evils.” (p. 443).

Dark throughout, but a happy ending.

Bracken does a wonderful job weaving a new story out of Greek mythology and explaining background while not treating the reader like someone completely unfamiliar with the tales. No loose ends.
