Synopsis

From Emily R. King, author of the Hundredth Queen series, comes an epic novel of ancient Greece, Titans and treachery, and the women who dare to rise up against the tyranny of the Golden Age.My mother told me that men would speak about the Golden Age as a time of peace and happiness for all… However, the women of our age would tell a very different story…Cronus, God of Gods, whose inheritance is the world. Among his possessions: women, imprisoned and fated to serve. The strong-minded Althea Lambros controls her own fate and lives to honor her dying mother’s plea to protect her two sisters at all costs. Althea’s journey toward crushing the tyranny has begun. It is a destiny foretold by the Fates. And she is following their visions.On the southern isle of Crete, hidden among mortal women who have fled the Titans, is the Boy God, son of Cronus and believed dead. He shares Althea’s destiny to vanquish the Almighty—fate willing. Because Cronus has caught wind of the plot. He’s amassing his own forces against Althea’s righteous rebellion and all those who will no longer surrender or run. There will be war. If she’s to survive to write their history, the indomitable Althea must soar higher than any god.

Goodreads review by Shirin on July 27, 2021

The first book of Wings of Fury by Emily R. King is a different, surprising, and strange version of a romantic mythology story of Cronus's reign. A retelling mythology story of the time that Gods have less power and women are warriors and fight for their freedom. What should I call the Lambros sist......more

Goodreads review by Vorágine (ig:voragineblog) on March 26, 2022

MENUDA SORPRESA DE LIBRO. Quiero desde ya todos los libros de la autora. En resumen, Alas de furia ha superado incluso mis expectativas y abre la puerta a una trilogía con un mundo que me ha fascinado y del que me muero por leer mucho más. Estoy seguro de que el siguiente libro, después de todo lo qu......more

Goodreads review by Kitcatscratch on February 08, 2021

When I was in third grade, I was obsessed with Greek and Roman mythology (sorry Norse mythology but you guys are too much of a Debbie Downer). This book started off strong as we enter a world where the gods are real (as in it really does take a God in a chariot to bring the sun across the heavens,et......more

Goodreads review by Shoshanna on February 07, 2021

I'm a big fan of YA Mythic Fiction. That is how I would classify this book. It was not *perfect* but I did enjoy it. The story was quite good. A Greek Mythology retelling from a time before most of the retellings start. Starting a series before Cronus had been defeated is a different and fun take. If......more

Goodreads review by Fernanda on March 20, 2021

*Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an early copy of this book for review, all opinions are my own* Trigger warning: assault and abuse. This is a thought book, it shows us a world where women are oppressed, treated as objects that have no opinions and no will. If you know a lit......more

Quotes

“Narrator Lauren Ezzo has a lot of empathy for Althea, the storyteller.… Ezzo presents Althea as a complex character—fearless in the face of a hard world and determined to fulfill her mission. Ezzo shows the relationship between Althea and her older sisters as tender and protective. —AudioFile Magazine“Sumptuous…King ably weaves Greek mythology into a cat-and-mouse spectacle. Readers will cheer for Althea as she upholds her family’s honor and fights belligerent gods with determination and confidence. This is a winner.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)“Sharp prose and smart characters…King (Hundredth Queen series) takes a fresh look at the Greek pantheon to create a clamor for the next book of this new series.” —Library Journal
