A review by annabel_reads
Ithaca by Claire North

tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

I really didn't like this; i initally gave it a three but having thought about it for a while i feel as though a two is more accurate. I didn't like Hera as a narrator, though I fundamentally like the idea of an 'outsider looking in' style of narration. I just don't think Clare North executed it particularly well. I also don't like the presentation of the dynamic between Calypso and Odysseus - I understand that Hera is probably a biased narrator but i just don't have the confidence that Clare North would treat it with the complexity is demands
