I just absolutely loved this book. One of my all-time favorites.

I was concerned that it would be difficult to read since I didn't have any background knowledge on Greek mythology, but it was very accessible. Miller's writing is just beautiful and absolutely captivating, and it really felt as if I was having a story read to me, rather than reading a book to myself. The ending was full-circle and completely satisfying.

Definitely recommend for fans of strong women, historical fiction, and mythology retellings.
