I’m a sucker for a good Greek myth retelling. This one was interesting as Le Callet chose to not involve the gods at all. Which made the story more feminist, modern and dare I say, girlbossy.

The illustration by Peña was impeccable and elevated the story. 

Once again we are reminded to never fall in love with a man with a “J” name.
