This book is fascinating and well written enough that I could finish it in just one sitting. But it was heart wrenching. The story stays strongly rooted in the original myth, but focuses heavily on the theme of women facing punishment for the sins of men. But if you’re looking for a story about a woman taking agency of her own story, keep moving. While the epilogue may hinge on something of a hopeful note, the story itself is quite depressing.
