Standalone
Multi POV
Mythological Retelling
Feminist
Similar to Genevieve Gornichec and Madeline Miller
Fast Paced
Exploring the “Heroines” of Greek Myths
Loved the entirety of Phaedra’s myths are told together as one compelling story
Enjoyed the Cameo of Medea
addition of a night chorus was a great homage to Greek Tragedy
Love the juxtaposition in the final chapter of the lives of two women (Full circle moment)
Not an easy read
very dark and tragic subject matter
violent
major Pacing issues
