This book put me right back into my ancient greece obsession, and i’m very thankful for that, because it’s a truly intriguing subject.
This story is incredible, filled with female rage and agony, told in such a beautiful way! I couldn’t stop reading, I just needed to not what happened next. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in ancient greece and the queens of that time
