An intimate retelling of life from the Amazons' point of view, of Queen Hippolyte's fascination with and abduction by Theseus, and the slow crumble of the Queendom from that point onward. Not my favourite retelling, but beautiful emphasis was placed on the romantic relationship between Cletes and Penthesilea, providing yet another facet of history that is so often overlooked. Heartfelt and poignant, this was a novel full of soul.
