Thank you for the kind words. I hope you get a chance to read the book!

I enjoy historical fiction when the history is woven into the plot and one doesn't feel like they are reading a history book. That is the case there; the author made it very interesting, and you aren't even aware that you are learning something about Greek culture.

I guess it's a wonderful read based on the Ancient Greece mythology! I love myths very much and would give this one a try :) Well-developed characters are a big plus. Thank you for this exciting review!

What fascinates me most about this book is the names of the characters. They sound very unique. However, I enjoyed reading your review. Well done!

They are unique to us, but they are Greek names. Oceanus and Inachus are names of Greek gods, although they are not gods in this story. Thanks for the kind words!

Not one of my favorite books but the book cover is attractive. I might just get a copy one of the days and read it for myself. Thank you for the detailed review.
