I loved this book, it really made me realise that thought out most narratives that I’ve heard and been taught Hera is depicted as spiteful, manipulative and hateful. She is all of these thing but this book really shows that she is also her own person and a victim. It doesn’t excuse the things she’s done. But she is as much a victim as those she hurt. 

I found the book a bit slow in the middle. But it is worth it. I loved the end and how it was all wrapped up. It was lovely to see. 

This is actually my first time reading one of Saint’s books (even though I own most) and I loved it. Will definitely be reading the ones I have. 

Thank you to the author and the publisher for the chance to read this eARC.
