It definitely wasn’t what I expected - but the Dickensian setting and characters were certainly the best part. This isn’t quite a Greek retelling, it is more of a reimagining and I did enjoy the way it twisted expectations.

This one just felt a little long. There were so many perfect points to end the story, but it just kept going. For me, it was hard to keep reading at times due to how the story seemed to be overflowing with twists and turns.

It was hugely original though with characters you can’t help but love. Villains were truly dislikable, our protagonists were lovable and you wanted the best for everyone. Though I’d have preferred a slimmed down version, the core plot was amazing.

Definitely a great book worth a read!
