A review by thepagelady
Daughter of Sparta by Claire M. Andrews
4.0
Sparta forged her into a deadly weapon. Now the Gods need her to save the world!
Seventeen-year-old Daphne has spent her entire life honing her body and mind into that of a warrior, hoping to be accepted by the unyielding people of ancient Sparta. But an unexpected encounter with the goddess Artemis—who holds Daphne's brother's fate in her hands—upends the life she's worked so hard to build. Someone has stolen nine mysterious items from Mount Olympus and if Daphne cannot find them, the gods' waning powers will fade away, the mortal world will descend into chaos, and her brother's life will be forfeit.
Guided by Artemis's twin-the handsome and entirely too-self-assured god Apollo-Daphne's journey will take her from the labyrinth of the Minotaur to the riddle-spinning Sphinx of Thebes, team her up with mythological legends such as Theseus and Hippolyta of the Amazons, and pit her against the gods themselves.
This was a great story full of adventure, love to hate romance, and Greek mythology and folklore! Daphne is a strong main character. She is stubborn, proud and man does she have a temper! The book was fast-paced, which I found goes great with Daphne’s personality and the story line! Then there is Apollo I mean really who can pass up an arrogant sexy good with a human side! You can see and feel the dedication that the author put into the research and her characters! Claire M Andrews did a fabulous job in this reinterpretation of the classic Greek myth of Daphne and Apollo! I will watch for the second book to be released! Happy reading everyone!
