Atalanta was a great book but there were parts where I was struggling to push through. I enjoyed the last two parts however, as I read through half of Part 3 and Part 4 entirely in 1 day.

This book was a lot of plot, despite the first person POV. My previous knowledge of Atalanta was from the Percy Jackson Book of Heroes and I only remembered the bears and the footrace part, and enjoyed the reminder about her story. It is very readable, and I enjoy that she directly addresses Jason's fuckboy nature, but while there are moments of interiority, it is very plot heavy and ended up more in "fine" territory for me. I did very much like how the epilogue was framed though, and

that it didn't seem a curse for her to be a wild animal, but gave her happiness and reconciliation with Artemis, which she seemed to want

No book has ever spoke to me more. To be a woman and to be a “strong woman” or a women with “masculine” interests, you may feel the need to boycott love. But Atalanta shows us that we can forge our own paths and follow our own desires, down whichever paths we choose.
Women have always had lives and dreams and wishes and emotions. I love to read historical fiction which centers of these incredible women.

Atalanta was born to a goddess and dumped in the woods. She is quickly discovered by a bear and watched over by the Goddess Artemis. Artemis has a group of young lovers and keeps all men away from her women. When she needs a mission completed she sends Atalanta. She must complete the mission for Artemis. If Atalanta comes back unsullied she can join the women forever.

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.
