I love a mythology retelling from a female perspective. However, this was not my favourite of them all. The things I did enjoy included the portrayal of Artemis. The middle section of the book was most enjoyable but I found my mind wondering in the first and last thirds. I think what was missing for me was some of the humour and depth in connections between the characters which I didn't really feel with this at all. There was a heavy reliance on the idea of Hera being a victim to the world... to the point that she was often distracted by that concept. This then motivates her decision making and that for me, was not enjoyable to read 300 pages of.
