Athena's Child by Hannah Lynn
emotional
5.0
I wrote a whole long review and then storygraph glitched and ate it 💀 In short, I love the way the myth is portrayed here, the way Athena is a goddess who simply cannot understand the powerlessness of mortal women, the way her wrath overrides any semblance of care she might have. I love too how Perseus is woven in via his mother's story, starting right with her birth; she is important too, not just Perseus.
In short, this is a feminist retelling, but a refreshing one that feels no need to tell you that repeatedly, and instead centers the women in the narrative without question or signaling.
