🫀Really wanted to enjoy this after being recommended to me several times. I’m a big fan of mythology retellings. However I didn’t quite vibe with it, mostly because pregnancy being a prominent theme (which is a personal preference, not a critique of the narrative itself).

🫀 Slow paced that succeed in gripping.  The first half is mostly the everyday life of the character secluded in a cave. This may improve later. 

🫀 Often with feminist retellings, I find that FMC seem to go through frequent depictions of sexual assaults or violence - I’m really glad to see that this wasn’t the case in this story.
