Welcome to Greek mythology minus the more fantastical details we have become acquainted with. This story is a more believable exploration of the lives of some familiar names etched in the pillars of Greek history.
I appreciate this author’s vision to place what is usually told with outlandish lore into the realistic framework of historical fiction. I really liked the premise, but the overall narrative fell a bit flat in some aspects for me. I still found this novel a worthwhile read.
I’d like to thank NetGalley for an advanced copy of The Shadow of Perseus for my unbiased evaluation. 3 stars
