I'm not sure why I keep torturing myself with reading these beautiful stories of Hannah's even though I KNOW they're tragedies. But also they're so well written and I love them. 

This follows Amazonian Queens Hippolyte and Penthesilea in their stories of love, loss, and betrayal after an encounter with Theseus (boo hissπŸ…πŸ…πŸ…). The story is well done and I like the small moments of kindness both queens share with children that I like to think help out in large ways. I also appreciate the connection to other stories the author has written. About 65% the plot felt like it stalled a little bit, but It picked back up around 75% until the end.
