Just finished reading Athena's Champion by #DavidHair and #CathMayo... I will review it on NetGalley and GoodReads tomorrow (kinda late in the night to do so haha) but it's definitely ⭐⭐⭐⭐ for me. It's my type of novel with the right amount of action, cussing, LOTS OF MYTHOLOGY, and an actual thinking protagonist. Aaand it's Athena, my favorite Greek goddess. Definitely not boring but the ending was kind of meh and extremely anti-climactic. The last chapter just made me go... Okay, 4 stars it is. Has anyone read this already? . . . #oroplatamyta #bookblog #bookblogger #fiction #mythology #greekmythology #bookcover #amreading #bookstagram #book #books #bookish #bookworm #bookaholic #bookphotography #bookhoarder #bookobsessed #booknerd #books📚 #bookcommunity #libros #livre #readersofinstagram #readerlife #bookreader #readersofig #literature #literaturelover #literaryfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/BsN2Gl6Bb9k/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m8p2k9k0p7s3

Athena's Champion by David Hair & Cath Mayo | This is a book I deeply enjoyed, it has a mix of Greek Mythology and Fantasy. The authors created a plausible young Odysseus, it doesn’t feel out of place or character. Its Odysseus through and through, and for me that adds a lot of value to the story. Odysseus is a theios, “god-touched” awakened by Athena that offered him her protection. He was sceptic about the gods to later discover they were real and mankind is at their mercy. He’s also portrayed as idealistic, I would like to highlight his conversation with Bria about honor: “‘I thought Athena stood for honour.’ ‘Honour? No, she stands for logic, and logic has little place for irrational concepts like honour.” Sometimes I felt as if the book goes in separate ways with Homer’s original story, nevertheless, the authors always manage to bring the story back to the original. It has a good ending and I look forward to the next book in the series. I received an advance copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Many Thanks to Canelo, David Hair, Cath Mayo and Netgalley for the opportunity. #netgalley #canelopublishing #davidhair #cathmayo #athenaschampion #books #bookreview #bookstagram #bookgram #bibliophile #madewithover https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp8ulZbBty5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ol0didopzxdo
