If you like Madeline Miller then you’ll love this. This is a Greek myth I’ve never heard before and I can’t wait to explore more. Deina is one of House of Hades Soul Severer’s. Each time a soul is severed she earns back another year of freedom and will be free to live her life how she wants. Living in a land dominated by a tyrant however makes this harder than it should be and she must use cunning to earn her right to life. The writing is quick witted and sharp, setting the scene and filled with action to keep your interest piqued and want you knowing more.
