The Heroines by Laura Shepperson
3.0
I really like the idea of retelling Greek myths from a women's point of view and I normally go into these myths blind, not really knowing the full original story.
I think what this book lacked in depth of story telling, world building, and suspense, it instead may have delved deeper into the underlying themes of how rape and sexual allegation cases have never been (and unfortunately still aren't) taken seriously by men and how women are seen as gossips but men are seen as story tellers.
I ended up skimming the last of the book to see what happens as I found the story to be repeated a whole heap.
