One of the most complex Greek mythology retellings that speaks of its protagonist not only as a heroine from a myth, but as a character in a cruel world. I learnt so much from this book, it’s become one of my favourite. The ending was quite disappointing, but important nonetheless. The personification of Gods is uniquely done, making you both root for and despise them. It only made me love Dionysus more.
