The Women of Artemis by Hannah Lynn

I love when I can spend a whole day lost in a book, and this one was absolutely worth the afternoon. This novel is part of the “Retold Series” about Greek women, and having read one other book in it, I can confidently say the quality is fantastic. Greek Mythology is a genre I happily dwell in—perhaps because my family is from Macedonia, which is nearby.

I loved this so much; it’s a total five-star read. The book held my focus and attention throughout the entire story and never lagged or felt dull. I loved every single character—Iphinone, Aina, Damaris, Phile, Thalassa, and Althea. The story features so many strong female warriors that it’s hard to keep track of all their names!

I want to make an honorable mention for the horses in this story; they added so much warmth and character.

I especially respected Otrera for making the hard calls she did, and I loved that we always saw the human element behind those often controversial decisions. I particularly adored her relationship with Cleon and how it helped her heal and reach her full potential as Queen of the Amazons. I fell in love with this story and will absolutely be reading the author’s other works, backtracking in this series, and looking forward to anything new in the future.
