I love how we re-introduce Greek Mythology by adding a twist to it. The story goes by fairly fast and the illustrations are absolutely breathless!

Well that’s just the cutest thing ever! It did go from light to very very dark in a snap, but it’s generally quite fluffy and cute. It’s also very much a feminist retelling, which I love. Can’t wait to read the next book!
