I did really enjoy this book, a tale of a strong women. The pacing closer to the last part did feel rushed in comparison to the rest of the book.

I would definitely recommend giving it a read:)

Saint really is a master of myth retellings. Every sentence is more captivating than the last as she weaves a story of tragedy and triumph.

I absolutely loved this book. I raced through it. Luckily I don't know much about greek mythology, so the ending was a surprise. In some ways I wish it had ended differently, but overall I really loved this retelling of the ancient myth ❤️

No book has ever spoke to me more. To be a woman and to be a “strong woman” or a women with “masculine” interests, you may feel the need to boycott love. But Atalanta shows us that we can forge our own paths and follow our own desires, down whichever paths we choose. 
Women have always had lives and dreams and wishes and emotions. I love to read historical fiction which centers of these incredible women.

Despite some pacing issues, this book provides Saint’s best heroine, with amazing world-building, amazing detail to the mythology explored within the text, and a happier ending than her other novels.
