Divine Might: Goddesses in Greek Myth by Natalie Haynes is a female-centered look at Olympus and the Furies (4.5/5 stars)

Divine Might: Goddesses in Greek Myth by Natalie Haynes is a female-centered look at Olympus and the Furies.

I borrowed the audiobook from my local library and the author does an amazing job narrating. I really enjoyed her historical fantasy book Stone Blind, so I was excited to delve into her non-fiction. I minored in Classical Mythology in college, so I’m excited to be charmed by books like this.

Haynes does an amazing job weaving together tales from various sources in attempt to create a flowing narrative for each goddess she explores in this book. The gods really feel like they’re just people and not infallible beings. She also does an amazing job injecting humor into stories that were often tragic.

I truly need to read her back catalogue now.

I received a copy of this book to review. Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Perennial for the complimentary eARC. All opinions contained herein are my own.
