Overall it's an interesting telling of a myth I didn't really know. I liked learning about the character and the take kn their journey and interactions. The best part of the story is the beginning and Atalanta's early life. Where the book falls down is that a large part of it (the voyage of the Argos) is, by the books own admission, a bit boring? I'm just not sure enough really happened to carry momentum.
