A little slow in the beginning but honestly one of my favorite retellings so far. The choice of Hera as narrator was fascinating and honestly I loved it. This retelling held my attention and kept me wanting to know what was going to happen next. Absolutely need the next one ASAP!

3.5 stars (goodreads add half stars, you coward)
Enjoyed the story itself, but it was incredibly slow paced and stretched out far longer than it probably should have. It was so interesting and different that the story was told through the perspective of Hera. All in all, I liked it and it was a decent read!
