Synopsis
Hera, immortal goddess and daughter of the ancient Titan Cronos, helped her brother Zeus to overthrow their tyrannical father so that they could rule the world. But, as they establish their reign on Mount Olympus, Hera suspects that Zeus might be just as ruthless and cruel as their father was, and she begins to question her role at his side. She was born to rule, but does that mean perpetuating a cycle of violence and cruelty that has existed since the dawn of time? Will assuming her power mean that Hera loses herself, or can she find a way to forge a better world?
Traditionally portrayed as a jealous wife, a wicked stepmother, and a victim-blaming instrument of the patriarchy, Hera is ripe for a retelling that shows her as a powerful queen?ruthless when she needs to be, but also compassionate, strategic, and ambitious. With Hera, beloved and bestselling author Jennifer Saint delivers another epic and enthralling reimagining of a Greek heroine we only thought we knew

Une lecture très riche, à la hauteur de ses précédents romans.
Je n'ai, pour le moment, quasiment jamais vu de livres sur la figure d'Hera. Alors, forcément, j'étais plus que curieuse.
J'avoue que je ne savais pas quel serait le point de vue adopté. Compassion ? Cruel ? Neutre ? Quelle serait l'image qui ressortirait d'Hera après cette lecture ?
Hé bien j'ai adoré les choix de l'auteure quant à
