Hands (of Fate) Down my Favorite Clio Evans Book
There's two very clever themes written in this series, but I didn't notice them until this third book. First, and most important, these books are written about the Old Gods and Monsters of Greco-Roman Parthenon, and as such, written in a style that reflects the major greek theatrical principles. There's a bit of sadness and quite a bit of comedy, and classic tragedy. Not sure how satyrical theater will come into play, but may I need to re-read. 2nd, this book specifically is written for the tired hero (or heroine). I loved how one of the very hardest myths for women readers has been elevated to a hard-won HEA. Reclamation, Love and self-Acceptance are major themes that I think Evan's celebrated well through the story. I think I highlighted one too many sections of this book because I loved it so much. Also, SPICE score is through the roof on this one, with some unbelievably cathartic scene play. This was an awesome book and I can't wait to read the next one.
