Being a sucker of all things related to mythology, this one is definitely on my bucket. Had a good time reading all the adventures of our amazing MC. Not sure if it is already one but this should have more books featuring all spin-offs of our beloved gods and goddesses.

This was a pretty 'meh" kind of book, it was your typical formulaic young adult fantasy novel. I felt like there needed to be more world building and character development. I liked it at the beginning but the ending was a let down. I just wanted more from a story that was about Artemis. I wanted to see more from the character and from the world she's in, and expand on the character. I was pretty bored and didn't connect to the characters.

It's Greek mythology and I have enjoyed myself reading the book from the beginning until the end of it. I love the characters, I love the story pace and the author did a wonderful job of writing such an amazing book.

Outrun the Wind is a fantasy inspired by Greek Mythology, one of the main characters Kahina being a huntress of Artemis and the other main character Atalanta being accused of killing Artemis's boar, and wanting to be recruited by her.
At first I couldn’t really get into the story, it was all a bit too chaotic. But after the first third the plot got pretty interesting and I was eager to know what was going to happen.
The characters were interesting and the story was definitely something different from what I’m used to read in stories set in ancient Greece. The fact that she decided to race her suitors was quite original and entertaining to read.
Still, it was an enjoyable read that I would recommend.

Thank you to the publisher and the author and to NetGalley for allowing me to read an ARC in exchange for my candid opinion.

WOW! Am amazing first book written by a college freshman.

This story is woven in and around the mythological characters of Greek mythology and is somewhat similar in genre to the Percy books. But having said that, the author has a unique voice of her own. I found the book a readable and compelling read. There was ample suspense to the book, too.

I look forward to reading more books by this author. She has a real future as an author.

This was way too weird for me to finish, and even though I was halfway there, I just couldn't put myself through with it.

This was okay, I enjoyed it while reading it, but never had the urge to pick it up again. Did really like the relationship between the main characters.

Wow, yes, wow. I absolutely loved this book! It has everything I love - greek mythology and ladies who like ladies. Outrun the Wind was just a sweet, fun read and one of the most enjoyable ARCs I got to read in quite a long time. I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye out for more books by Elizabeth Tammi.

Outrun the Wind was just okay in my opinion. I'm a sucker for retellings so as soon as I heard about this one, I was very hyped for it. Unfortunately, I found it hard to connect to the story and more often that not I was forcing myself to read the story. It didn't feel like a Greek retelling to me and instead felt like barely fleshed out characters that were placed in a Greek myth with modern thoughts. I liked the concept of it, but the execution didn't work for me.

An interesting idea taken down well-trodden paths. The writing was spiritless; the internal timeline did not come together. I also expected a lot more wlw content.

I'm a sucker for retellings, so when I saw that there was a retelling on the myth of the golden apple, I was excited af.
The twist the author gave this old myth was exactly what I needed, and it was beautifully written.
I'm so happy I got to read this gem!

I will give it 3 stars because it was okay, but I dont' think i would read a sequel or an other book from this author, I liked the main character, I like the setting, but the plot of the book did not catch my attention

Outrun the Wind is a new take on the Greek mythological figure Atalanta. In Elizabeth Tammi's retelling, the ending is totally different from what the myth is so you can't go into this thinking it is the same thing from a different point of view. It's not.

Kahina and Atalanta are the two main characters. Kahina is part of Artemis' Hunt, formerly of part of Apollo's Oracle of the Delphi which she escaped from. She has the power of prophesy and thereby, Apollo's not real happy about the loss.

As much as I wanted to enjoy this book, it really didn't do it for me. The whole Atalanta and Kahina relationship was a slow burn but I found Kahina's anger through most of the story a bit much. They didn't feel very fleshed out. The same with Apollo and Artemis.

Her father and brother and the rest of Artemis' huntresses are in the background and are very one key. Father wants her to marry. Brother excited to have sister back and grieves for his lost lover. Hippomenes, who in this tale sells Kahina to the Oracles and is also pissed off at Atalanta for "killing" the boar in the beginning of the book.

I was given this book by Net Galley for an honest and unbiased review.

If you play too much AC: Odyssey, then you will almost certainly enjoy this YA book.

There is a lot to understand in this book and readers may recognize if they are familiar with Ancient Greece in any way. While I am not sure I would consider this one of the best books based on Greek mythology, I don’t really consider it a bad book. The characters of Kahina and Atalanta are awesome and persistent in their pursuits of freedom and belonging. The POV changes were occasionally confusing, but the story developed consistently and without too many speedbumps. I look forward to reading more by this author in the future.

I really wanted to love this book. There was just something about it that wouldn't allow me to connect. I think there just needed to be more depth to the characters and more to make it feel like a Greek retelling. It felt like thinly fleshed out characters plopped into a Greek myth with modern thoughts. I loved the whole concept of it, I just wanted more than it was able to give.

I ended up feeling a little torn with this book. I love greek mythology so the premise of this book really excited me, but it felt a little more like a modge podge of famous greek myths rather than a creative retelling of any. Nevertheless it was entertaining and I love the main relationship!

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

3.5 stars

I love me some greek mythology and some girls kicking arse, which is why I picked up this book with such promise, as a YA Fantasy novel it was good and definitely aimed at the right people however I was expecting it to be a bit more about the two main characters general bad-assery rather than the love story/romance it became but that may have been my mistake.

I thought that the duel perspective story-telling was a good idea however I found it difficult to keep track of which was which and had to go back and check at points as the voices were a little similar.

Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy the book and is was a good easy read (especially after a recent slog) there are just a couple of niggles I have with it.

I would have also loved to learn a bit more about their pasts, we were told that horrible things were done to them but not told what they were so did not truly understand the hatred behind the characters.

Lastly I would have also liked a little more insight into Artemis and Apollo to find out their motivations and reactions etc.

I absolutely love Greek mythology so I was really excited for this book. It was a quick read but took a little getting used to with the alternating perspectives. I really appreciated the relationships in this book but the development felt a bit rushed at times.

You are all just thrown into the story, which for me was okay but if you are not familiar with the mythology it might be a bit challenging.

Overall I am glad I picked this up.

Outrun the Wind is steeped in mythology a bit too much. I know it's a retelling, but there should have been a little more variation. It's an okay read.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me a copy to review. This in no way affected my opinion of the book. 

Warning: Attempted Rape 

If you haven't read my blog before you probably don't know that I absolutely love Greek Mythology. The Story of Atalanta was not one that I was super familiar with before I read Outrun the Wind but I did have an idea of what it was about. Tammi does a good job of familiarizing the reader with the myths of Atalanta, but at the same, providing her own story so I would not be worried if you don't know anything about her myths.

I loved how Tammi created Atalanta's world but it did feel generic. Yes it was greek but the names could have been replaced by any other fantasy sounding name and I would have said: "Okay, this works".  I enjoyed reading Atalanta and Kahina's relationship bloom on the page. I do enjoy the frenemies to lovers trope and I feel like it completed the story nicely, which it should as it is the one major selling point of this book.  It was originally 4 stars but then I realized that the story was not that memorable. I was looking over the parts that I bookmarked and a lot of it I had forgotten. I don't regret reading as it was rather cute and I am never one to turn down a myth retelling. Also if Tammi where to write a story about the backstories of the other Hunters of Artemis I would totally be down for that!
