I definitely enjoyed the new perspectives on the original myths in this series! It's clear that Ms. Hellenthal has done her research into the original myth for each story and put a lot of thought into the re-telling of it from a romantic lesbian perspective (although less so in the third book). I look forward to reading other interesting myths from around the world through this intriguing lens!

I've never heard these stories before.
I really enjoyed these stories. Especially the last one and the lessons in it. I really like the writing. These stories flow easily.

May 26, 2019Book 1- The cursed
When I started reading the book I realised I had actually read the first book 'The cursed' previously and had enjoyed it although I had felt slightly uncomfortable with a myth from my Celtic background being altered to have a lesbian storyline. Having said that the storyline itself is well written and if it wasn't for the fact that I knew the myth previously and it hit a personal nerve I would have nothing but praise for the book.
Putting my personal beliefs aside I can say that this book is well written, well researched and I enjoyed reading it. If you don't know anything of the Tuatha De Danann then this story goes a fair way to introducing you to their rich mythology. The author has a great way of bringing the characters to life.
Book 2- The Taken
This was a myth I knew nothing about but by the end of the story, I found myself wanting to know more about the mythology that surrounds the native American tribes. I found it all so fascinating and spiritual in many ways. Obviously, the tale has been altered to include a lesbian love story but it flows so well you'd never know. This one story has opened up an interest in the mythology of another culture that I may never have looked into. As a purely fictional piece of work, it's a great read and I will be looking for more books by this author.
Book 3- The Immortal
Again a myth I knew nothing about but thoroughly enjoyed reading. It's hard not to lose yourself in the storyline. Definitely an enjoyable read.
All up I really enjoyed this book and am hoping that there may be more books in the series to come. I'm now off to read more books by this author having had a small taste of her writing.
