  Countless tales have been told of Jason and his Argonauts and their quest to procure the Golden Fleece. But not nearly enough tales tell of the woman among their number, Atalanta, a woman raised first by bears and then by the nymphs of the grove of Artemis. Famous for her speed and her abilities with a bow, Atalanta is doubted and disdained by the men she meets, but she's okay with that—her loyalty is with Artemis. But can the world of men and uncaring gods threaten her hopes of triumph? In her latest retelling, Saint tackles this story of a fearless warrior woman confronting a world mired in patriarchal assumptions and threats. The second half of the novel feels rushed, probably owing to Saint's ambition in trying to fit in all of the action while also giving enough weight to relationships. But overall, it's a compelling story about a powerful, observant warrior who loves a good, honorable fight and about the more dishonorable side of some well-known mythological quests. Fans of Saint's Ariadne (2021) and Elektra (2022) will be happy with her newest offering. Copyright 2023 Booklist Reviews.
