Other than that, there wasn’t much to love, oddly enough this didn’t feel like a romance to me, even though people fall in love (off page) and have a HEA.
I understand that this is more of a re-imagining than a retelling as it varies a lot from the myth. I feel that this is more for those that need an introduction to Greek myths? And want it in an easy to digest form. Knowing all the ways it departs from the original, I definitely do not recommend this to people who love the Greek myths as is.
Also Aphrodite is the main villain and made into an absolute one sided caricature.

also, not every feminist retelling has to change the protagonist into a warrior to make the story work. the psyche of this version feels whiney and entitled, and her ‘heroic deeds’ feel arbitrary and convenient more than anything else. they in no way feel crucial to the progress of the story at any time. zenobia neil’s psyche unbound, a retelling of the same myth, is much more in line with what the original spirit of the story was. you can retell something without bastardizing it entirely.

I really enjoyed the liberties the author took with changing the intertwined myths, and the story was entertaining overall.
