I also liked that Atalanta faced sexism and misogyny but it didn’t feel helpless/hopeless and upsetting/infuriating the way that other books + movies can portray (often realistic) depictions. I appreciated that her driving force was a quest for glory to honour her goddess.

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.

Atalanta is strong and smart. She fights with all her might to do the right thing and win the prize for her goddess. Atalanta never imagines what life can be like outside of the forest and she never imaged what men could be like.
The book weaves a beautiful story about life, love and a womans strength above all.
