This was cute and easy. I'm a sucker for Greek re-tellings, though, so. Know that with my rating.

This was a good read, albeit a simple one, nothing out of this world, but the protagonist was actually well written, which is something I am not actually used to nowadays, especially in retellings of myths and stories. The reason I am not giving it 5 stars, as I would mostly any book based around Greek Mythology is that I honestly felt that the handling of most of the Argonauts and their struggles along the way was not particularly stellar. The narrative felt bland in places where it should have been hardcore. I would have probably given it 3 stars for this reason had it not been for the really great ending.

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.
