I read this back in 2016 when I initially got approved and didn’t know how NetGalley worked, so I didn’t give feedback. I’ve revisited the book and am now giving my review. I really enjoyed Tamer of Horses. It was a great Greek mythology re-telling and I enjoyed the author’s other works, too. 3.5(rounded up to 4)/5.

Once again, I love Amalia Carosella's work. Every work is like a character study of these Greek demigods and myths that are such a mystery to us. She explores their relationships and motives, how they would have lived if they were real, but also keeps the mystical elements of Greek Mythology that we love so much (ahem.. Centaurs!!). There are a lot more scenes that are NSFW in this novel, compared to the previous Helen books, but they are tasteful and are essential to the plot, Pirithous is indeed a son of ZEUS (the biggest player in Olympus). So overall, another great work from Amalia Carosella.

Tamer of Horses by Amalia Carosella
• Sacrifice
This story was told with dual views which made it nice knowing what the other person was thinking and doing. Hippodamia and Pirithous, as well as their people sacrifice immensely throughout this book, but it still ends as a HEA. It has Greek Mythology, battles, as well as a tastefully written sexy romance. I wasn't sure what the story was about in the beginning, but once I figured it out I couldn't stop reading. I'll admit I needed a few tissues but it was worth it! This is my first Amalia Carosella book, but I look forward to seeing what else she has. ARC received from Netgalley for an honest voluntary review.
