Saint's writing just isn't for me. I'm not excited to pick this up and when I do, I'm not engaged.

I almost didn’t finish this, because for most of the book, Hera wasn't sympathetic enough to be a hero/protagonist or villainous enough to be an anti-hero. By the end of the book I realized the ambiguity was part of the point. And the last section of the book was excellent, so even though I found the first 80% a little frustrating, I still overall liked it
