I was lost to this exquisitely crafted world. Daughter of Darkness is everything I want in a fantasy and moreSteeped in blood,betrayal and mysticism,this is a deliciously dark retelling of legendary proportions - a book of smart,savage beauty that kept me reading long into the nightRich with mythology,this twisty adventure spins a new story from old - one that will leave you breathless,broken and desperate for moreA beautiful,breathtaking adventure through the world of Ancient Greece and the Greek myths. Daughter of Darkness puts a twisty,surprising spin on the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice,with plenty of heartache and betrayal,and a trickster heroine who had me rooting for her from the very first line. Now...when can I read the next one!Deliciously dark,dangerously exciting,absolutely immersive fantasy from two goddesses of storytellingThose looking for a dark read will not be disappointed,especially those interested in fantasy and mythology. A concentrated read in which reader interest and involvement never flag.
