Summary
From the #1 internationally bestselling author of Ariadne, Elektra, and Atalanta, a propulsive, empowering retelling of Hera, reclaiming her as a feminist hero

Even the gods must have their queen.

When the immortal goddess Hera and her brother Zeus overthrow their tyrannical father, she dreams of ruling at his side. But as they establish their reign on Mount Olympus, Hera begins to see that Zeus is just as ruthless and cruel as the father they betrayed. While Zeus ascends, Hera is relegated to the role of wife and mother, a role she never wanted. She was always born to rule, but must she lose herself in perpetuating this cycle of violence and cruelty? Or can she find a way to forge a better world?

In this enthralling retelling, Greek mythology’s most famous and maligned goddess finally tells her own story, as power, passion, and divine strength collide in the heart of Olympus.

A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.

The book is well-written and tells Greek Mythology through a unique lens. However, I would caution anyone from reading as heavy topics such as SA are discussed, and I do not recall that warning for me. With that in mind, I enjoyed this story immensely. It sees the realm of the Greek gods through the eyes of the longest reigning queen. From the Titan War to post-Greek Myth, you follow Hera on a journey of war, independence, struggling, compliance, and even freedom. If you want to see Greek stories from Hera's perspective, this book gives that story and more; enjoy.

I loved this book. It's such a great novel. I was hooked the entire time,never did I get bored twists and turns the entire time. I was happy, sad, mad and frustrated all at the same time.
