An action-packed adventure, an epic love story, a marvelously conceived and executed page-turner, Miller’s monumental debut novel has already earned resounding acclaim from some of contemporary fiction’s brightest lights—and fans of Mary Renault, Bernard Cornwell, Steven Pressfield, and Colleen McCullough’s Masters of Rome series will delight in this unforgettable journey back to ancient Greece in the Age of Heroes."

Once again, I picked this book to finish the ultimate reading challenge. I am extremely glad that I read this book. One good thing about this book is that it's an easy read. I love Mythological Gods and Goddesses so I speed through this book in no time. The descriptions and characterizations in this book were good and made it easy to differentiate the characters. Also, a lot happens in this book, but the plot moves smoothly I think I only got confused once, but once I got back into it I understood it more. The twist in this Greek love story was beautiful and the relationships were thorough which made the heartbreak even more hurtful.
I really have nothing bad to say about this book, it was definitely the best one that I have read so far in 2023.
Review
