Thank you to A.S. Webb, MIRA, and The Hive for the free book!

Daughter of Chaos is a gripping reimagining of Greek mythology that breathes new life into well-known tales while forging its own unique path. Set in a world where mortals live under the tyranny of the gods, the story follows Danae, a fisherman's daughter with mysterious powers, on a quest that could change the fate of humanity.

I loved the inclusion of characters from various myths—Heracles, Paris and Helen, Theseus, and more—which enriched the narrative and made the story feel deeply rooted in its mythological backdrop. Heracles, in particular, plays a significant role, and it was so enjoyable to see his dynamic woven into the plot.

The twists surrounding the true nature of the gods were fascinating and added an innovative layer to the story. The tone reflected the gravitas of a classic Greek tragedy, capturing the drama, moral dilemmas, and larger-than-life stakes that define the genre.

This book left me eager to see where Danae’s journey leads next. A.S. Webb has crafted an engaging and thought-provoking tale that’s perfect for fans of Greek mythology and epic fantasy. Highly recommend!
