A decent retelling of Greek myths. There was a little oddness with the characters making them a bit unlikeable and, if you had no basic knowledge of Greek mythology then you might find the names confusing. That said it was a decent read and she handled the nuances well. Expect more thought-provoking than action scenes.

A solid attempt at playing with mythology, but there wasn't too much brought to the table that we haven't seen before. As a result, this book is easy to read, yet vacuous and unmemorable.

My thanks to NetGalley and Diamond Book Distributors ChiZine Publications for an eARC of this book to read and review.

This was a DNF at 20% for me.  Not because it was a bad book, in fact, I found it to be interesting and written well.  But because it is loosely based off of Greek mythology and it was a little too loose for my taste.  My Roomie is what I would consider an "expert" on Greek mythology, so I ran the first 20% past her and she told me that, while it sounded interesting, it did not follow the story of the Minotaur, Ariadne, etc.  Granted, the original myth is pretty horrible, but I don't want to confuse the myth with something based off of it, if that makes any sense.  

If this was just a story, not based off of Greek mythology or anything like that, I would have finished it with no qualms.  It really is quite good and I would definitely read other works by this author, but this particular book did not work for me.

Having read 20% of it and finding the writing good, the fleshing out of the characters realistically and the setting nicely created in the reader's minds eye, I will give it a solid 3 stars.  Not bad, but not one I would recommend to the Greek mythology purist.
