I placed this book near the top of my 2021 most anticipated reads and, let me tell you, it does not disappoint. So you can probably imagine my excitement when I heard about Daughter of Sparta. I honestly love any retelling but especially the books that play on Greek mythology. To start, I love a good historical mythology retelling. Preorder a signed and personalized copy of Daughter of Sparta through Claire’s indie bookstore, Barrister’s Book Shop Ltd.! Author InformationĬlaire Andrews was raised in both Alaska and Scotland, but currently lives in Vermont when not writing, she can usually be found outside swimming, skiing or hiking across the state’s famous green mountains. Guided by Artemis’s 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.Ī 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. 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. 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. 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.
