Book Review-Atalanta

[Luna Ravenlong]

Title: Atalanta
Author: Jennifer Saint
Genre: Greek Mythology, Fantasy

Summary from Goodreads:
Although she loves her beautiful forest home, Atalanta yearns for adventure. When Artemis offers her the chance to fight in her name alongside the Argonauts, the fiercest band of warriors the world has ever seen, Atalanta seizes it. The Argonauts' quest for the Golden Fleece is filled with impossible challenges, but Atalanta proves herself equal to the men she fights alongside. As she is swept into a passionate affair, in defiance of Artemis's warning, she begins to question the goddess's true intentions. Can Atalanta carve out her own legendary place in a world of men, while staying true to her heart?

My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed this book. I had never heard of this figure from Greek mythology before, and I found her story fascinating. Atalantas fight to prove herself equal to the men (or possibly superior) to the men of Ancient Greece is very engaging, though there possibly could have been more depth in some parts.

I would definitely recommend and look forward to reading more by this author.
