I am a bit obsessed with greek mythology recently! This book was so gorgeous, with beautiful artwork and thick pages (such a lovely feeling to have a book with nice pages) and the stories were so fascinating. I grew up reading Percy Jackson but didn’t realise as a child how disturbing and violent the gods could be. If you are looking for a book with a well-rounded summary of greek myths (specifically with a female focus), then this is a great pick!
