This does not feel like Jennifer Saint. She has tried to cram as much mythology into it as possible, resulting in a story that is too superficial and telling rather than showing. It meanders all over the place, too far from the point it's trying to make. I really wanted to root for Hera and was excited to read a portrayal of her that was different from the usual jealous wife and evil step-mother, but I couldn't because she lacked dimension and purpose. There was not a single character that interested me in this retelling.

Not in the right mindset for it, might pick it up later.

The characters and their thoughts feel unnatural, their behaviours incredibly odd. The mystery itself is just not very interesting.

I'm just not feeling it. I like the setting, but the language used does not reflect the time of the story, which makes me feel disconnected from it.

Just not feeling compelled enough to continue. I had higher hopes for this, but it's one of those sci-fi ones that throws a ton of new terms at you without even the most basic explanation, which prevents me from visualising the story, and I'm just not in the headspace to trudge through it until things start making sense.

Incredibly boring. Poor characterisation. The actions of the three people renovating the house make no sense. I just cannot stand stupid character choices.

It must take tremendous skill to make a story about a murderous couple so incredibly boring. The characters were flat and the story was just slowly meandering, not really giving me anything but annoying repetitions, as if the author didn't have enough to write a full story. It probably would have made a better novella. I read how the rest of the story plays out and nothing about it surprises me. That's exactly what I thought would happen. Predictability isn't always a bad thing, but there must be something to keep me interested and this book had nothing.

Õudne sonimine. Kirjavigu täis. Pidev kaldkiri on häiriv.

This might be the most boring book I've ever had the displeasure to read. Literally nothing happens in this book and I feel like I'm wasting my time. This book tries too hard and it's just so one-dimensional. Nothing in there to grip me and keep my interest going.
