A review by oroplatamyta
Oracle's War by Cath Mayo, Catherine Mayo, David Hair
5.0
Thank you to Canelo Publishing for informing me that the electronic Advanced Reader's Copy (eARC) is available on NetGalley.
David Hair and Cath Mayo have done it again! They continue the action-packed tale of Odysseus, this time bringing our epic hero to the gates of Thebes and stop its might from trampling across Achaea. We again see Bria, the lusty daemon who guides Odysseus throughout his quest, and meet Diomedes and his war-hungry, headstrong Argive cousins who walk alongside Odysseus towards their glorious destiny.
While the first of the series, Athena's Champion, was personally the better of the two, I can't deny this one was extremely well researched and well written. It was full of testosterone, but what would you expect from a Greek myth-inspired story? There is no boring moment, despite already knowing the ending beforehand. I particularly enjoyed the theme of family and honor on all sides, from Odysseus himself to the Argive warriors. Overall, this was another fantastic dive into the politics of family, god-worship, and the future of Achaea.
