The Heir of Venus by Laura Shepperson
3.0
I didn’t connect with this book too much which is weird because I usually love Greek mythology and retellings. Especially feminine forward ones. I think that had I read a print copy instead of the audiobook I would have liked it a lot more.
The narrator didn’t make the book special. It came across as rather monotone and I had a hard time with some of these names.
The story is about Aeneas, demigod, son of Venus and star warrior of the Trojan War. But it’s told from the perspective of the women in his life. Except for Venus, which I’m now realizing and think would have been pretty cool to add. To be honest, I didn’t know much at Aeneas, and nothing about Lavina or Creusa before reading this. I’m interested in learning more about them now.
