Hi friends! So today I'm going to be doing a review on "Daughter Of Chaos" by A.S. Webb. This review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (however there will be the Goodreads synopsis in this and sometimes it can contain spoilers so please keep that in mind!)
"For mortals to be free, the gods must fall in this sweeping epic fantasy debut.
---
In ancient Greece, mortals suffer under the tyranny of the gods - forced to sacrifice the food they depend on, their worldly possessions and even each other at the whims of the Twelve. But an ancient prophecy speaks of hope, of one who will set humankind free.
On the Island of Naxos, Danae, a fisherman's daughter, develops strange powers tied to a mysterious tree bearing golden fruit. Driven from her home, she seeks guidance from the oracle but only finds more questions... and whispers of a secret network of believers who have long been awaiting her arrival.
Determined to learn more, Danae joins forces with the legendary Heracles and his crew. Together they battle monsters and gods alike on a quest to the end of the world as Danae seeks the one who holds the key to her destiny.
But a terrifying truth is yet to be unlocked. A truth that could destroy the world as she knows it. Danae must choose to follow her destiny or her heart, while the fate of humanity rests on her shoulders."
I received this book as an ARC from Netgalley, however all opinions are my own.
So the reason I wanted to read this is because as you all know I really have come to love Greek mythology retellings. I'm not gonna lie friends, I went into this not knowing much about this part of Greek mythology so there wasn't anything I was necessarily expecting. However, even though my expectations weren't high this book was phenomenal. Every single part of this book had me wanting more. The character development throughout this book was incredible and the found family aspect was both beautiful and heart breaking. The amount of times this book genuinely had me gasp with shock at the twists and turns was truly astounding. I did not think there was any more secrets to be uncovered and then we just kept getting new ones. I actually ended up whisper screaming at the ending because I did not want the book to be over, but also because it left me readily excited and wanting more from the next book in the series. I loved every minute I spent with this book and I will 100% be picking up a physical copy of this as well as the next book in the series when it comes out.
I gave this book a 5/5 star rating on Goodreads!
This book is already out!
