Daughters of Olympus by Hannah Lynn
Did not finish book. Stopped at 55%.
Ended up listening to this instead of reading it.
From the beginning the story is heartbreaking. You have Demeter who just wants to have a plethora of children and to not be raped by other gods. I think out of the four Greek myth retellings this was my least favorite. I got about 50% into the story and then we switch to Kore/Perspehone's perspective of her and her mother's lives together (even though we just read it) and honestly we didn't need a recap. Especially since we're still getting Demeter's POV sprinkled throughout. This ended up being a stopping point for me. As much as I would have loved to continue I'm already struggling and gods and goddesses being miserable isn't something I can handle right now.
As always Hannah Lynn is a wonderful writer and author.
