I’m not a fan of this book. But I do like the writing style. That’s the only reason I did not DNF this one. And it is written very well indeed. I was quite hooked at around 40% of the read. But I still do not like the story - not my cup of tea at all. I do not fancy reading tragedies, the romance was too much for me. Not the author’s fault in any way - she has clearly written a very engaging account of the original mythological tale.
