Discussion

What we liked about this book: We loved this retelling of the Odyssey from the perspective of a relatively minor character with a modernized focus on agency and feminine empowerment.

What we didn’t like: There isn’t much that we didn’t like, actually. Men are trash, but that’s not specific to this book

Verdict: A unanimous Thumbs Up!!
