Summary
The heroic story of the only female Argonaut, told by Jennifer Saint, the bestselling author of ELEKTRA and ARIADNE.
When a daughter is born to the King of Arcadia, she brings only disappointment.
Left exposed on a mountainside, the defenceless infant Atalanta, is left to the mercy of a passing mother bear and raised alongside the cubs under the protective eye of the goddess Artemis.
Swearing that she will prove her worth alongside the famed heroes of Greece, Atalanta leaves her forest to join Jason's band of Argonauts. But can she carve out her own place in the legends in a world made for men?

Amazing!
Enchanting, magical, inspiring and all of the feminist attitude that we need in a heroine. Loved this and Ariadne. About to read Elektra now.

Atalanta - a forgotten wonder
I liked this book so much and Beth Eyre narrates it so very very well. A wonderful tale of a wonderfully powerful girl in the age of myths and Gods. So grateful that Jennifer Saint has highlighted that a woman accompanied Jason and the Argonauts on their Quest for the Golden Fleece? Who knew? I certainly didn't.

Saints best yet!
I am a big fan of Saints pieces. Ariadne and Elektra were both amazing, but this tops them both completely. Absolutely gripping until the last sentence and written in a wonderfully modern tone. Once again a wonderful feminist retelling. Definitely recommend. Beth Eyre was also once again lovely to listen to.

Incredible story and performance
The story of a 'lesser' known Greek hero, completely justified in her place beside Heracles, Perseus and Jason. I really enjoyed this Greek myth retelling, Atalanta is a wonderful hero to examine and this book does just that in the best ways. Exciting adventure and a heartfelt story arc.

Better than I thought.
I struggled to get into it at the beginning but I soon found myself hooked.
A brilliant piece of mythology.

Saint's best book yet
An excellent story performed very well. Atalanta is somehow even more thrilling than Saint's other great titles Ariadne and Electra.

An engaging story beautifully read.
This is a lovely version of a classical tale in which the characters are well-developed and you care about their fates. A tale relevant to modern times, especially if you are a woman.
