Vinall’s gripping characterizations combined with Stokes-Chapman’s intriguing mystery should appeal to fans of light historical suspense in the vein of Dana Schwartz’s Anatomy: A Love Story.
An approachable exploration of humanity’s roots that will likely interest those who loved Sang-Hee Lee’s Close Encounters With Humankind or Annalee Newitz’s explorations of more recent ancient humans in Four Lost Cities.
In this gripping narrative, Haynes stays true to the original myths, using them as a lens to explore modern tragedies and to put forth an urgent message about the true cost of misogyny. Highly recommended.
Listeners of the series’ prior audiobook will already be clamoring for this one. Purchase multiple copies, and rest assured that patrons will be delighted.
