Outrun the Wind by Elizabeth Tammi
4.0
3.5 stars
*I received an ARC via netgalley through the publishers Flux Books however this in no way influenced my opinion*
So this is a YA fantasy novel with elements of Greek mythology. The novel begins with Atalanta and some men hunting a beast of Artemis, Atalanta lies and says and she killed the beast however it is actually Kahina who is hiding in the shadows. It turns out that Atalanta is actually a lost princess but then it is revealed that she was abandoned on purpose. Kahina and Atalanta end up in a relationship at the end of the novel and they are super cute.
Personally I really enjoyed the plot and the writing although the writing could be a little repetitive sometimes. I’m not normally a fan of tropes like the lost princess trope but the fact it was turned on it’s head which was interesting. I also really enjoyed the romance between Kahina and Atalanta. I didn’t really connect with the main character Atalanta that well , I much preferred Kahina so that’s why I’m glad that the story was told from both characters POV’S.
Overall I enjoyed the plot of this especially that there was Greek mythology incorporated into it however I didn’t really connect with the main character Atalanta however I really loved Kahina, I found her character fascinating.
