A wonderfully written retelling of Hera and how she came to be the wife of Zeus and Goddess of marriage. There are a lot more myths intertwined in the novel so that at times it's more like the story of Olympus, and is a lot of information in a fairly short book. That does take away a little from getting to know and connect with Hera, I've enjoyed the character building more in Jennifer Saints other retellings. But Hera's story is so much bigger it's probably not fair to compare them. Overall, although not my favourite retelling, it's really worth the read and I'll certainly buy a copy for my shelf.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and the author for the advanced copy
