Hera by Jennifer Saint

4.0

This was such a great Read -

Living in Greece i have grown up with all the stories of the Gods and studies in Athens History of Art, this book had so much depth in terms of the Gods History, some parts of the story depend on where in Greece you live to what you are told but it was so interesting all the same.

Hera Has always been the Vengeful, Mistreated Wife - and takes her Anger out on not her philandering Husband but on those that dare to get involved with him and any children they may bear.....

But this Novel highlights Hera's softer side that isn't as renowned as her Anger..... Her relationship with her sister Hestia, Her monsters even her handmaiden - nothing can excuse her Behavior but this is Hera's POV and not everything is emphasized in the Myths we are surrounded with.

The Book would have been a 5 star - but i am reviewing the Audiobook - i found alot of the Greek places and Names were mispronounced - i would understand if it was highlighting the Greek pronunciation but speaking both Greek, Some ancient Greek and English, it sounded like nothing i have ever heard of, i think the Narrator should have researched a little more
