This book is so lovely. It feels like a feep warmth spreading in your chest. Impossibly lovely.

It feels like a full bodied wine, well balanced with a compelling mystery and a soft romance. Immediately one of my new favorites

I wanted to read this series because I ADORE the Studio Ghibli movie and was looking for the same cozy vibes. This story is vastly different but still so enjoyable.

I was skeptical about reading a middle grade book as a 29 year old but honestly I just had such a good time. Must read for cozy low to medium stake vibes

I love the feminist lense added to classic greek mythology. Seeing the womens side of the retellings of traditionally male centric stories where women are soley objects.

This story really impacted me thinking about my own generational curses.
