I was like OBSESSED reading the first 75% of this?? Stayed up late and everything. And then I just stopped for like two weeks and had to force myself to finish it.
I read this for book club so this isn’t usually what I read but I still enjoyed it for the most part. Definitely more of a “her journey and growth” kind of story rather than “this majestic, dramatic plot”.
I don’t know how to feel about the ending. It’s a bit cliche??? I predicted it from the mid way mark that it’d end like that. A classic ending for one of these types of characters and I feel like it was a bit weak. But that’s fine, maybe it’s just not for me.
Overall, a fun delve back into Greek mythology but I’m not sure it’ll be very memorable in a few months.
