I read Song of Achilles right before this one, and I really enjoyed this one for different reasons than Song of Achilles! Of course it is a mythology retelling, but so much canon lore was packed in in a very readable, sustainable way. As a Percy Jackson kid, I appreciate Miller's way of retelling these stories in a more adult, but also modern, perspective. She highlights the hierarchy of mortals and gods, as well as the hierarchy within god-hood itself, and how as women, we are constantly commodified and "owned" and how we must make our own place in this world.
