I’ve been a fan of Jennifer Saint since reading Ariadne, with Elektra being another step up, Atalanta was again a level up.
Focused on the titular heroine Atalanta from her abandonment on a mountainside through to her quest with the Argonauts and beyond.
While Jennifer’s other novels use a multi POV narration, this is just Atalanta’s voice - and what a woman she is. Brave and strong, she is constantly having to prove herself in a world made for men, her achievements grudgingly noticed but quickly pushed aside or ‘forgotten’.
I absolutely loved this book. As with Elektra and Ariadne it has sent me down a Greek myth rabbit hole, wanting to stay in Atalanta’s world a little bit longer.
