I had such a great time reading Daughter of the Underworld! I love anything inspired by Greek mythology, and this one really delivered something fresh and dark. The vibe was intense in the best way — gritty, a little eerie, but still full of heart.

Deina is such a strong main character. She’s clever, determined, and I liked how she wasn’t perfect — it made her feel real. The whole underworld setting was so vivid and immersive, and the twists on the Orpheus and Eurydice myth were super creative. There were a few moments I had to pause just to appreciate how cool the world-building was.

It’s definitely a darker story, but I found myself completely pulled in. If you’re into mythology, morally grey characters, and high-stakes adventure with a little bit of edge, this is definitely one to pick up.


Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review an early copy of this book.

Really disappointed. I wanted to read this one so bad but there is only one option to read it and it wouldn't open in the net galley reader. I will more than likely pick this up regardless because I wanted to read it so bad and love love greek retellings.

This novel yanked me into a world where danger and ambition pulse beneath every surface. The heroine is fierce, determined, and unafraid to confront her own shadows as she ventures deeper into the underworld’s secrets. Her drive to right past wrongs unfolds into a story packed with tension and unexpected alliances. The romance is subtle yet powerful, threading through the darkness with sparks of trust and longing. The pacing kept me hooked. Just when I thought I knew what would happen, the story surprised me and refused to relent.

If you crave strong heroines, high stakes secrets, and a love that blooms in the cracks of a dangerous world, this one will keep you turning pages well into the night.

*My Star Rating is completely random as I cannot read this book*

Unfortunately this book has only been provided in one format to read - on the netgalley app which does not work for me. I cannot read on my phone, I tried the download option and it would not open. If this book has the option to send to kindle or kobo I would love to read and review it.
