Outrun the Wind by Elizabeth Tammi
3.0
I received this copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thanks Netgalley!
Perhaps due to my own lack of leveling expectations, this was just one of those books that didn't wow me like I hoped. As soon as there was mention of greek mythology and an lgbt main character I about lost my mind.
The book was enjoyable enough that I didn't feel the need to stop midway. Mainly to make sure that there wasn't a depressing ending as is expected in the lgbt genre. I won't spoil it for you, but I'm glad I stuck with it to find out.
For me personally there was too much confusion in characters. Multiple POV's are hit and miss for me, so again this all could be reader specific. It also didn't help that I wasn't all that invested in the character's themselves...more so the ending that was to come.
All of that being said, the novel does have a much needed message that a woman does not belong to anyone and to fight for yourself without expecting anyone else to "save" you.
