Loved this book. Let with a burning love for women and feminist strength. Built excellently on existing mythology without depending on the source material or creating a new world. Made me consider the treatment of female figures in mythology in a different light. Immediately sent me searching for similar works and other novels by Miller.
Graphic: Bullying and Toxic relationship
Moderate: Sexual assault and Suicidal thoughts
