Acerca de esta escucha
In this thrilling reimagining of ancient Greek mythology, a headstrong girl does whatever it takes to rise up and become the most powerful fighter her people have ever seen.
Seventeen-year-old Daphne has spent her entire life honing her body and mind into that of a warrior, hoping to be accepted by the unyielding people of ancient Sparta. But an unexpected encounter with the goddess Artemis - who holds Daphne's brother's fate in her hands - upends the life she's worked so hard to build. Nine mysterious items have been stolen from Mount Olympus, and if Daphne cannot find them, the gods' waning powers will fade away, the mortal world will descend into chaos, and her brother's life will be forfeit.
Guided by Artemis' twin - the handsome and entirely too-self-assured god Apollo - Daphne's journey will take her from the labyrinth of the Minotaur to the riddle-spinning Sphinx of Thebes, team her up with mythological legends such as Theseus and Hippolyta of the Amazons, and pit her against the gods themselves.
A reinterpretation of the classic Greek myth of Daphne and Apollo, Daughter of Sparta by debut author Claire Andrews turns the traditionally male-dominated mythology we know into a heart-pounding and empowering female-led adventure.

Historia
Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success.

When Princess Atalanta is born, a daughter rather than the son her parents hoped for, she is left on a mountainside to die. But even then, she is a survivor. Raised by a mother bear under the protective eye of the goddess Artemis, Atalanta grows up wild and free, with just one condition: if she marries, Artemis warns, it will be her undoing. Although she loves her beautiful forest home, Atalanta yearns for adventure. When Artemis offers her the chance to fight in her name alongside the Argonauts, the fiercest band of warriors the world has ever seen, Atalanta seizes it.

When a banished witch falls in love with the legendary trickster Loki, she risks the wrath of the gods in this moving, subversive debut novel that reimagines Norse mythology. Angrboda’s story begins where most witches' tales end: with a burning. A punishment from Odin for refusing to provide him with knowledge of the future, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into the farthest reaches of a remote forest. There she is found by a man who reveals himself to be Loki, and her initial distrust of him transforms into a deep and abiding love.

Historia
Margaret Tudor, the elder sister of her more famous brother Henry VIII, is the single most important Tudor figure of this era that historians have consistently overlooked. Married at thirteen to the charismatic James IV of Scotland, a man more than twice her age, she would learn the skills of statecraft that would enable her to survive his early death, and to construct a powerful position in her adopted country of Scotland as she dealt with domestic issues as well as navigating international relations with England and France.

Historia
Margaret Tudor, the elder sister of her more famous brother Henry VIII, is the single most important Tudor figure of this era that historians have consistently overlooked. Married at thirteen to the charismatic James IV of Scotland, a man more than twice her age, she would learn the skills of statecraft that would enable her to survive his early death, and to construct a powerful position in her adopted country of Scotland as she dealt with domestic issues as well as navigating international relations with England and France.

As head phoenix keeper at a world-renowned zoo for magical creatures, Aila's childhood dream of conserving critically endangered firebirds seems closer than ever.

When a tragic phoenix heist sabotages the flagship initiative at a neighboring zoo, Aila must prove her derelict facilities are fit to take the reins. But saving an entire species from extinction requires more than stellar animal handling skills. Carnivorous water horses, tempestuous thunderhawks, mischievous dragons.

This is my second time reading this, which says enough that it’s at least worth the credit.
The first go round I devoured this book mostly bc I love Greek mythology and romance. The second round it was a little less *amazing* but still pretty great. The characters seemed a little less developed than I originally thought, and some scenes I found myself losing interest/not paying attention and noticed they might have been shorter/removed. Biggest gripe on the second read I noticed is definitely the climax/the end. It felt rushed and kind of anti-climatic. The MCs decision at the end, I understood, but it felt very abrupt and I’d have liked the reader to have more insight into why she felt she had to/wanted to make that choice.

One review I read before I bought it called this "Percy Jackson series in one book". I understand that review, but to me it was more "Hunger Games in Greece, but with better 'ships'". Yes, you go through a lot of the same trials as every other Greek mythology series you know (they're the trials most remembered, so obviously), but this is not your Percy universe. This is Sparta, after all. These gods are very different than the ones we think we know, and I honestly kinda love some of the things she did with them. Persephone, for the first time ever, I actually like her! And contrary to another review I'd read, I did not find the story predictable at all. I have guesses about the cliffhangers left for book 2, but I honestly don't know, and that's even after searching Wikipedia for clues. It's going to be a long summer for me, waiting for that preorder in September!
As for Daphne, I downright love her. She is one of the first female heroines of this kind of YA story that I don't feel an overwhelming desire to slap. (Maybe book 2 will change that?) At no point in the story do I remember thinking "god, you're an idiot" or "these guys deserve better than you, girl". As for the guys, I absolutely adore both of them. If I could split Daphne in half, I absolutely would. Hopefully she finds a way to make it up to them both in the series. They are equally awesome.
My only issue with the narration was Apollo, and that might have just been my own expectations, after all of the other books I've listened to (Rick Riordan mostly, but others as well). Apollo isn't gravelly in my head, he's sultry. Apollo, more than any other god, has to have a voice that's irresistible, (I mean, THAT is Apollo's jam!), and her voice for him was jarring, especially the first sentence. I got used to it eventually, but I almost went back to the paper copy in that chapter. Everything else was fine. Her pronunciation of certain Greek words was different from what you hear in the Percy series, but she's probably more accurate, and I got used to those a lot faster than I did to Apollo's accent. I think I'll adjust my brain to his voice eventually, as I'm definitely listening to it again and again.
As for the story, without giving spoilers, Daphne is a refreshing female lead. She IS a kick ass girl, and she's a true Spartan (no whining/crying/clinical depression through book after book, thank God), but she is also allowed to be a female. She has her soft side, her temptations and responsiveness to masculinity, and she is not stupidly bound to 'love is weakness' or 'I will never marry', the way so many of these girls are. (She HAD her chance to pledge herself to Artemis, and she didn't do it.) "I have learned that the fire is inside me", as she says herself, and that was nice to see, as were her moments of swallowing her pride and letting the guys be the strong ones. Rescuers need rescued sometimes, and a true relationship is one where you save each other. Brain and strength and heart together in a girl will make this top of my list to proudly hand to my daughter when she's old enough (which unfortunately won't be until high school; there's a lot of blood in here - think Hunger Games). And if you need a god to stand around and be the pretty one while the girl does the fighting, hey, Apollo is your guy! We all already knew that about him. Pretty is something he's good at.
I cannot wait for the next book. in the meantime, I think I'll restart on this one.
Sequel now please!

Riveting story of the gods
Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
The cover of this book and the description along with some of these reviews makes you think you're going to get a gritty story of a girl who ascends the bloody steps of Spartan society. You're going to get courageous action in a Greece that is ruled by the gods in a time of strife. You get some of that... sparingly. Mostly you get teen angst, insane dialogue from a young girl to the god that accompanies her, and action scenes and combat written by someone who seemingly doesn't want to write action scenes or combat.
The plot is meh. Forgivable though. The dialogue is cringe-inducing. Almost every male is a sitcom punching bag for her to immediately verbally thrash. Luckily for her they just stand around and smile while she throws a tantrum every other page. There is very little sign of her growing up in the harsh unforgiving society of the Spartans. She is thin skinned, mouthy and absorbs nothing new.
I really wanted to like this book. Like - a lot. Perhaps some people will love it and good for them. Alas - I do not. Its just - boring.
