Thank you Constantina Maud for the free copy of this book in exchange with an honest review!

Overall, I really liked this book! It was a very interesting and original read with an area of intriguing characters and many humourous and adventurous moments! What I liked most about the book is the fact that the author seamlessly combined adventure and action bits with humour, which for me, is essential when reading a fantasy novel!

My favourite character is definitely Drynoe. I know it seems a bit "easy" to say you like the main character of a book sometimes, but in this case I'm way beyond justified for my likeness of her! She's a very strong-willed and determined girl and I think she posses many interesting attributes, that make her someone to look up to!

Something else that I really liked about the book, is the seamless way it incorporates Greek elements. Even though it's written in English, many words are Greek or derived from Greek words, and that makes the book all too familiar for a Greek reader!

The only "problem" I had with this book would be that sometimes I found the wording and the writing a bit complicated, some things could be said with fewer words for example. I do understand though, that this is due to the author's effort to make her writing more rich and interesting, do I can't say it bothered me that much.

All in all, I really liked reading "Hydranos". It's a very nice debut novel from an author that definitely has much to say and give to the writing community and I'll be anxiously waiting to see what she'll do next!
