Rating 5 Stars

"Queens of Themiscyra" by Hannah Lynn presents a captivating narrative set in ancient Themiscyra, focusing on the lives of Hippolyte and Penthesilea, queens of the Amazons. The story promises a rich exploration of sisterhood, war, peace, love, and betrayal in a mythic retelling that may resonate with fans of Madeleine Miller and Claire Heywood.

The premise, with Hippolyte being swept away by a love that takes her away from her people, sets the stage for emotional conflict and personal growth. Meanwhile, Penthesilea's leadership in Hippolyte's absence introduces elements of ferocity and terror, adding layers of complexity to the characters and their relationships.

The mention of Themiscyra, Amazons, and the legendary king Theseus creates a familiar backdrop for readers with an interest in Greek mythology. The themes of war and peace, love and betrayal, and the emphasis on sisterhood suggest a narrative that delves into both the strength and vulnerabilities of these powerful women.

For those who enjoy mythic retellings and stories that blend historical elements with rich character development, "Queens of Themiscyra" seems like a promising read. If you've read the book, feel free to share your thoughts or any specific aspects you found particularly engaging!

The amazing story of two the greatest women in Greek Mythology. Hippolyte is betrayed by her lover after leaving the Amazons while her sister finds glory and immortality at Troy.

We all know Theseus sucks, and that is not surprising by any means. The Amazons are amazing though and even though people may not like this retelling, it is what it is- a retelling. Hannah Lynn is an amazing story teller and I absolutely will devour ANYTHING she writes.
