My favorite of her books to date. Though I didn’t love the ending, it definitely could’ve been a worse one, given the subject matter.

Despite some pacing issues, this book provides Saint’s best heroine, with amazing world-building, amazing detail to the mythology explored within the text, and a happier ending than her other novels.

Without breaking your heart, Atalanta is a timely reminder of the cruelty of a world run by men. Any person who is feeling small and weak should spend time with Atalanta. The book will make you want to curse at the sky.
