This is an amazing listen for those who are new to Greek mythology retellings or those of us (like myself) who have been loving the genre for sometime now.
Hera is the sister of Zues. As they battle and defeat their father, Hera believes she will rule along side Zues. When the dust settles and Zues and Hera start to establish their rule and power on Mount Olympus, Hera sees that her brother is ruthless and cruel. Hera does not see eye to eye with her brother, she has plans for a better world.
The point of view we get from the writer really shows Hera in a light that we often don’t see. The story makes her relatable and humanizes her in a sense. Women of today can relate to how she is treated by her brother. Even though she is a goddess in her own right, full of both power and intelligence, she faces the misogyny from her brother and others around them.
Hera has often been told in a different light and seeing her in this point of view is refreshing and enlightening.
The narrator does a great job at being both soothing and captivating.

Thank you Net Galley and McMillan Audio for this copy to listen to and give my honest review.
