Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for providing me an e-arc of this title. 
This book follows Danae, a fisherman's daughter who eats a mysterious golden apple and then her life begins to unravel leading her on a journey that not only includes self discovery in a way she never would have guessed but adds danger and intrigue to boot. 
This book is set in Ancient Greece and is a perfect introduction to greek mythologies for the young and/or those who want a fictional introduction. As a reader I am enticed, but also dubious when the description compares the book to other popular books... however, the comparison to Godkiller and Priory of the Orange Tree rings very true to me. The story is well paced, and the world is so vivid and described to perfection. It is written in such a way that the reader can really build that world in their minds eye without specific direction... adding to the feeling that you are in the world watching as these things unfold. I felt the emotions of the characters full range.. from fear to joy to loathing to motivation. 
** slight potential spoiler in the next sentence!!!** My only moments that I lost contact with the story was in the moments when random strangers chose to sacrifice themselves for Danae... it makes some sense later but in the moment It disrupted the flow for me and didn't feel very authentic. 
THIS WILL APPEAL TO: readers that enjoy a historical fantasy setting, with lovely writing and vivid description and world building. This may also appeal to people who don't usually read historical fiction or ya but are intrigued by the description... I would recommend this title!!!
