Rating: ★★★★★ TL;DR: This is a truly original story that is also incredibly moving, well worth the read. Short summary: I originally put off reading this book because I assumed it was another Greek Retelling and at the time I just couldn't handle another one. I am SO UPSET I didn't pay better attention and just read it. It's a fabulous and unique story that was so beautiful and atmospheric, and so so moving. I loved it so much and it's definitely going on the favorites shelf.
