I loved this book SO much. it's everything it says it is and more. 

it's inspired by Jason and the Argonauts, but not at all a retelling - it's an extremely original story, with Jasyn being our main character, a curious and brave girl, and Atalanta, wise and powerful (and my new favourite character). It's about adventure and feelings (the sapphic yearning turned me into mush), chosen family and revolution. and sci-fi, which feels completely new for any myth inspired literature.

the writing flows very easily, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes managing to pull a giggle out of the reader. The characters are intriguing and lovable, I care for all of them, even those that are clearly going to be developed further in the next books. the pacing is perfect for a saga. this will feel like a new comfort read for YA fantasy readers who are looking to get into New Adult fantasy. 

i will most certainly follow Jasyn's adventures in the next books and keep an eye out for whatever else the author writes. 

I'm very grateful for the author, the publisher and BookSirens for the advanced reading copy i was given, and I publish this review voluntarily. 

I was actually really enjoying it until the ending. I did hate it. I thought the pace was awesome, with how we learned everything through memories, which was making me so intrigued and excited for the ending, for the AHA moment.... and it disappointed.

also why the heck is sandra there at the ending lol, I understand she must have read the news but still. "yes I'm the next of kin. who am I? oh you see doctor I'm supposed to be dead" it really doesn't seem like she would care to go back??? what even for, if she didn't want to be associated with the family??? gosh I need to talk about this book to someone who has read it too
