Synopsis

Sisters. Mothers. Lovers. Warriors.

In ancient Themiscyra, Hippolyte rules as Queen of the Amazons. Feared throughout Greece, their skills on the battlefield are unrivalled. But when a ship lands on their shores, it brings something more dangerous than the threat of war. It brings a future Hippolyte could never have dreamed of.

Swept away to Athens, Hippolyte learns a love that transcends even the bond of the Amazon women. But can she forget her warrior past and forge a new life?

With her sister gone, Penthesilea is left with no choice but to rise as the new Amazon Queen. Forgoing her sister's compassion and wisdom, Penthesilea rules with impulsiveness and ferocity that sparks terror throughout the Aegean.

But when Hippolyte's world starts to crumble it is up to Penthesilea to decide how far she will go to defend their honor, family, and way of life.

If you are a fan of epic tales, powerful female characters, and mythology retellings, you are going to love the latest book in Hannah Lynn's Grecian Women series.

My biggest complaint about this one is that it was roughly 200 pages too long. BUT. Switching between the e-book and the paperback, I realised the paperback has roughly an extra 100 pages?! Which is wild. I can only assume it's an earlier draft, though to be honest it's a neater read. So I guess e-boo......more

Big thank you to the author for sending a book and bookish goodies! I don't usually like accurate retellings of Greek mythology, because no matter how much I love it, it is still quite misogynistic.

This gets a 5 star rating from me because we haven't seen the Amazons rewritten and I'm here for it.
