Rogerson put so much care into this book, which is a big strength. It wasn’t my cup of tea, only because I am not the biggest Greek mythology fan. I’m impressed with how Rogerson handled so many characters so smoothly, and how she wove together a really coherent story. Definitely a fun read if you’re into Hercules mythos.
