I absolutely love Ariadne by Jennifer Saint, Electra was alright but I absolutely enjoyed Atalanta.
I believe I’m now a sucker for Greek mythology having enjoyed Madeline Miller and now Jennifer Saint. Please recommend me any others you think I should read!
I was enthralled in the forest of Atalanta’s world. I enjoyed the writing, the way Atalanta thinks and while I was a bit confused with the Aphrodite trance towards the end - I did enjoy the ending.

I loved every part of Atalanta’s story, from her beginnings in the forest with Artemis, to the way she took up her challenge without fear, and all the ways she proved herself time and again to be equal to or greater than the men she travelled with.
Her disappointment at the conclusion of the quest matched mine, and after the despair of what came afterwards I was sure there would only be a similarly sad ending to Atalanta’s story. I’m writing this review with tears still drying on my face from the final two lines of the book - an ending which for most would seem desolate but for Atalanta was perfect and rounded off her story just perfectly in my eyes.

Women have always had lives and dreams and wishes and emotions. I love to read historical fiction which centers of these incredible women.
