Katharine Beutner

In this vivid reimagining of a classical Greek myth, the eponymous Greek heroine Alcetis, known as the good wife because she loved her husband so much that she died to save his life, tells about her childhood, her marriage to the young king of Pherae, and what happened during the three days she spent in the underworld before being rescued by Heracles. Set in the world of Mycenaean Greece.

Alcestis

This was a process I knew, the act of being transported by a man from one palace to another, given as a possession between kings.

I could chase Hippothoe, maybe even catch her, and surely the underworld would not be so terrible with my sister by my side.

The writing style just wasn’t for me and the story felt like it dragged on and on by the end I was skimming just to finish already
