Book Summary:
They are the women of war.
In ancient Themiscyra, Hippolyte rules as Queen of the Amazons. Feared throughout Greece, their skills on the battlefield are unmatched. But when a ship lands on their shores, it brings something more dangerous than the threat of war. It brings a future Hippolyte could never have dreamed of.
Swept away to Athens, Hippolyte learns a love that transcends even the bond of the Amazon women. Can she forget her warrior past and forge a new life she had never dreamed of?

Alije’s Review:
Hannah Lynn’s mesmerizing and fascinating prose makes QUEENS OF THEMISCYRA a mind-blowing read. It has a complex plot, and the Author has written it in a perfect and bold performance. Lynn knows precisely when and where to linger in her scenes to capitalize on the emotion therein. Likewise, the pacing is excellent for a story that heavily relies on the characters’ internal experiences and relationships.

Hannah Lynn fills out the original myth in a compelling manner that will delight your brain and heart. This adventure ultimately is as richly woven as it is fiercely captivating. The main character Hypollyte is a strong and feisty Queen of the Amazons her journey is emotional, and the Author has crafted every detail in a very insightful and intriguing way. She has done a work of deep power!
.
Queens of Themiscyra is a compulsive, spellbinding, adventurous book that gently unravels page by page. Hannah’s writing is clear and sharp, and she can leave your heart in a few short words; it gets your mind engaged and working without you realizing it. It’s not difficult to read and begs for rereading; the amalgamated themes of charisma, control, identity, family relationships, coercive control, and more make it irresistibly thought-provoking, and it’s well written! This is a 5/5 read and we highly recommend it to every CIRCE, ARIADNE, LORE fan and basically to every Greek mythology lover. This is a must-read!!!
I give Queens of Themiscyra by Hannah Lynn 5 out of 5 stars.
