I read this book for my job’s DEI bookclub. I didn’t go into the book with high expectations based on the description but I was pleasantly surprised to have absolutely loved this book. Not only does it make you seriously think about serious topics like cultural appropriation and minorities in the publishing world, but it also has a really good page turning thriller aspect to it. This book will make you question where your moral compass lies while keeping you thoroughly engaged in the mystery of Athena’s ghost.
