Atalanta by Jennifer Saint
3.5
One day i'll stop picking up these so called feminist retellings because all they end up being is told from a female POV.
I liked reading the Jason and the Argonauts story with her pov, but wanted more in regards to it being /her/ story. But again, i liked it for its retelling just not the marketing i suppose which is why it got an enjoyable 3.5
Say first 15-20% is Atalanta in Artemis's forest - cool
All the way to 70% / 75% is Jason and the Argonauts and all Atalanta really does is narrate it while commenting on some of the characters. Nothing special in regards to this being /her/ story.
Afterwards its more Atalanta focused.
But such a big chunk just felt like she was the narrator and nothing more. Nothing significant was done with her character during that in any regard to make it /her/ story.
