A review by bookarina
Outrun the Wind by Elizabeth Tammi
3.0
Hello,
Disclaimer: I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review !
So, This was a ride.
I would like to start off by saying this was on my list of books to read when I heard what the story was going to be about.
LGBT, FANTASY, MYTHOLOGY with Badass women characters. (with an impossible love story)
It had everything going right for it to become one of my favourite reads,
Unfortunately it didn't.
While it took me a while to get into the story, I loved Kahina and her sassy personality, the world was confusing at first and made the overall experience not as enjoyable as it could"ve been.
It was a weird concept to have Apollo, be the protagonist into the book, it just didn't fit what we know about him from Greek mythology. The world was underdeveloped and for anyone without a good understanding of mythology, for them it would've come off as plainly weird and bad, the plot wouldn"t have made much sense, not that it did to those like me with a good knowledge of Greek myths.
I however liked the romance aspect between Kahina and Atalanta, while it was enjoyable I was disappointed to not have more information about what would happen in their future.
Overall, this story had a great potential, but was unfortunately, not as great as it could"ve been.
I ultimately gave it : 2.75/5 stars
