3.0

I enjoyed it overall~ however, in terms of phrases and dictions I prefer the first book Ithaca. It doesn't as poetic 🥲 I have a bit of problem with the pace of this book. I found it quite dragging, and the end didn't really as I expected. However, it delved to the characters' thought better. We saw clearly all the behind the scenes of the decision and it was a good thing. I liked how Penelope and Elektra finally bound with each other. I would like it better if Penelope became more cunning and showed her ruling bolder.
If you finished with Ithaca, go definitely get this book. 
This is a long die review, thank you so much netgalley and Redhook books for the arc ✨
