I am a big fan of Greek Myth retellings and Jennifer Saint is one of my favourite authors in this genre. I was thrilled to see her new novel focuses on Hera, Queen of the Gods.
Hera is probably not everyone's cup of tea. She has a reputation of being a vengeful and jealous Goddess, directing her rage at the victims of her philandering husband/brother, Zeus, instead of the God himself. In this book Jennifer Saint tells the famous myths from Hera's perspective and shows us that while Hera is a Goddess she is also a woman who is complicated, feels emotions and has flaws.
I feel much more connected to Hera after reading this book and I think this may just be one of my favourite myth retellings to date.
