This does not feel like Jennifer Saint. She has tried to cram as much mythology into it as possible, resulting in a story that is too superficial and telling rather than showing. It meanders all over the place, too far from the point it's trying to make. I really wanted to root for Hera and was excited to read a portrayal of her that was different from the usual jealous wife and evil step-mother, but I couldn't because she lacked dimension and purpose. There was not a single character that interested me in this retelling.
