What a beautiful book. The story follows the creation of the "Amazons" in mythology, focusing on Otrera, the queen of the Amazons. I was unfamiliar with the storyline but as I had read and loved previous releases from Hannah Lynn, I knew this would be no different. The characters were so well written, the story was so engaging, and the writing was fantastic. I felt as though I were there. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a wonderful book like, but somehow surpassing the beauty of Song of Achilles.

Thank you so much Netgalley for this wonderful ARC

*Rating: 5⭐*
*The Women of Artemis* was such a powerful read. Though it's framed as a Greek retelling, I connected with it more as a feminist story. Otrera, the main character, builds a safe haven for women escaping abusive marriages, and her strength and compassion made the book so empowering.

The writing was simple yet impactful—easy to follow, but deeply meaningful. It gave me *Circe* by Madeline Miller vibes, and as a proud Greek geek, that’s a huge compliment. This book was beautiful, emotional, and unforgettable.

5 stars! Abaolutely love the writing, as usual. Such a strong story about women, power and owning your worth.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for the opportunity to read an early copy of The Women of Artemis.

This was a beautifully written, moving retelling of the origins of the Amazons, told through the eyes of Otrera, their legendary queen. From the very first chapter, I was completely swept into her story: a tale of resilience, hope and the power of female community. Hannah Lynn writes with such vivid detail that I felt completely transported into Otrera’s world.

What I loved most was the strength of the relationships between the women. Each character felt fully formed, and the way they came together to create a society where women could live free and self-sufficient lives was inspiring and emotional. Otrera’s character arc in particular was wonderfully done - she was flawed, strong, and deeply human, making her a protagonist I’ll remember for a long time.

The pacing is strong and kept me turning the pages late into the night, and I found the ending emotional and impactful. This is a story that lingers long after you finish.

I would highly recommend The Women of Artemis to anyone who enjoys Greek mythology retellings or historical fiction with strong, complex female leads. Hannah Lynn has such a gift for reimagining mythology through a fresh lens, and I can’t wait to see what she writes next.
