I very much enjoy that it seems like the next book is going to end in polyamory to solve this love triangle. I also deeply love “gods dead and dying” as a curse.

I love how Saint gave Atalanta the choice to loose the race. That she gave Atalanta agency in that last moment. She chose to loose the foot race for her hand in marriage, because she loves him and he loves her and they want what’s best for eachother and they choose to be with eachother no matter if it means they loose themselves in eachother. And then when they face each other’s blessings and curses head on together they choose to loose themselves to become exactly who they were meant to be.

Fuck man, I love a feminist retelling of myth and folklore and in specific Greek myths.
