Book Review: Ithaca (Penelope, #1) by Claire North
Ithaca by Claire North
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I received an advance copy of this novel from the publisher, Redhook via Orbit Books, in exchange for an honest review.
I have such a weakness for Greek myth. Mythology of any kind fascinates me, but I’ve been obsessed with Greek mythology almost since I learned to read. Because of this love, I often find myself divided on retellings. On the one hand, I love any chance to revisit these stories I love, especially if told in a way that gives me a new perspective. On the other, I tend to judge these a bit harshly because of my love for the source material. But when I find a book that not only retells one of these timeless stories, it breathes new life into it, it becomes an instant favorite.
Ithaca? Definitely an instant favorite. …
