This book picks up not too long after Ithaca ends, and we once again rejoin Penelope on Ithaca. Instead of Hera, Aphrodite narrates this book, and what I love about North is she makes these goddesses so likeable (or unlikeable depending on your POV).

Greek myth from the POV of women is something I adore, but sometimes it gets bogged down in a sort of way that doesn't always work, but Claire North does something different

I adore Kingfisher's novels. Everything about this novella was haunting and beautiful.

The concept of this book sounded amazing -- and I very much enjoyed the book overall.

I've had my eye on this one for a while, and I hadn't gotten around to reading it yet, so I was delighted when Orbit sent me a copy. Not only is the cover fantastic, the story inside is as well!

It has been a hot minute since I've found a lost princess book that I well and truly loved, but The Jasad Heir hits all the right notes for me. Sylvia is now probably one of my favorite characters. She's feisty, but she is also reserved.
