I loved it. The book was written beautifully and the characters brought to life in a way I have not seen before.
I was surprised at how feminist this story was, it is unusual for Aphrodite retellings. However, I thought the author held the readerâs hands a little too much with the themes.
I also loved the book. I have always enjoyed Greek myths. It was really enjoyable tp have thestories connected into one long tale. I had read them previously as short snippets
Another vote for this awesome book, Aphrodite in Pieces-I highly recommend! Itâs probably my most favorite ARC that Iâve received. I donât read much mythological based stories but when I do, I usually am intrigued. I obviously need to explore more types of books like this and read more books from the author. Any recommendations? Thnx!
I wasnât sure if I would like this book. Like many of us, I have read some of the recent Greek myth retellings, and I wasnât sure if I wanted another one. But yes I do. Barrâs writing moved the story along and her ability to connect myths in one store had me turning the pages. Well done, a new favorite author.
Overall, I enjoyed the storytelling. Even when I did not agree with Aphroditeâs actions, I was drawn to her as a character. I felt for her and her plight. Even though she was a goddess, she was a woman, a mother, a lover, a victim, and a troubled characterâŚthat struggled with some of the same situations that us mere mortals experience.
I loved it. The writing was so intelligent, the story compelling. The goddess and her adventures were brought to life in such a refreshing manner. One of the best books Iâve read in a while,
I thoroughly enjoyed it and have been talking to many friends about it encouraging them to read it. It improved my understanding of Gods and Goddesses and motivates me to want to read more on the topic. I also plan on reading other books the Author has or may write.
