A review by hollanddavis
Daughters of Olympus by Hannah Lynn

3.0

 If you loved The Witch’s Heart by Genevieve Gornichec or Daughters of Sparta by Claire Haywood, this is the book for you. Hannah Lynn did a wonderful job telling the stories of Demeter and Core (Persephone) in a way I wasn’t expecting. This novels delves into the relationships between mothers and daughters and isn’t afraid to confront issues like sexual assault and grief (both rife within Greek mythology). It would’ve been so easy for Lynn to gloss over the difficult topics, but it wouldn’t have been Demeter and Persephone’s story if she had.

At times the story felt slow at times, but I enjoyed the way Lynn showed the passage of time for her immortal characters.

Trigger warning: incest, rape, infanticide, murder, abduction
