⚱️An archaeology graduate, student of classical civilization and all round Greek freak, Stephen Fry's retelling of the Ancient Greek myths was always going to be right up my street.
⚔️Whilst the first installment of Fry's Greek chronicals, Mythos, explores the creation, exploits and general shenanigans of the immortal beings of Olympus, Zeus and Co; Heroes recounts the outstanding feats of ingenuity, bravery and strength of the mortal (mostly) heroes of Greek mythology age.

☢️ They say you should never judge a book by it's cover and I found that to be true with The Race. With the promise of a dystopian thriller in which civilization was marred by fracking and ecological disaster, for me The Race fell far short on it's delivery.
⛔ Instead of one narrative, The Race is formed of four short novellas set in different realities and timezones with characters very loosely related. I so wanted to enjoy it but felt that the plot was disjointed, irractic and at sometimes confused with the stories not being resolved satisfactorily.

⚱️Get me to the greek... historical fiction! As an archaeology grad and a student of classics I have always been fascinated with anything related to ancient Greece so I was thrilled when I was asked to review Wings of Fury, which is a unique take on the Golden Age and the primordial beings of the second order, the Titans.
♀️A tale of female defiance, Wings of Fury follows a determined band of sisters who dare the challenge the injustices and persecutions suffered by the woman living in a male dominated world at the dawn of Greek civilization. Wings of Fury continues to bear the torch lit by its forebears, the likes of The Silence of the Girls and A Thousand Ships, giving a voice to the forgotten women of Greek mythology.
