Ever since I've read Percy Jackson I've had a fascination with Greek mythology. I've also been loving retellings where they focus on the women's point of view. This one was written well and although I'm familiar with this myth it felt new in a lot of aspects. Some parts dragged a bit and normally I would rate it 4 stars. However, the story itself captivated and enchanted me and I just had a great time reading it. Sometimes a great experience is all you need to give it five stars.
