In For The Winner Emily Hauser has truly written a superb novel History really comes to life within it s pages and is fun fascinating and very exciting The book is uite fast paced with not much of a lull in the action so once you start reading you are hooked and you want to read to find out what will happen nextThe contrast between the two main characters was brilliant I loved Atalanta I loved how strong she was and how she didn t let her being a women hold her back from what she wanted to do especially at a time when women weren t considered eual to men She is very brave and stands up for herself not taking any nonsense from anyone even those who are meant to be above her She is also very loyal she looks after her friends and makes sure they have everything they need As much as I liked Atalanta I loathed Jason He is so cold and cruel and I found that I really didn t want him to succeed His attitude towards others is vile and because of this he clashes with everyone during the voyage He tries to assert his authority through fear which does lead to a few unsettling scenes though I was always pleased to see him get his comeuppance when Atalanta stood up against him It made for such an enjoyable reading experience having such an obvious hero to cheer and a villain to hate It made me much involved in the story and i wanted to continue reading to discover who winsThis book mostly follows Atalanta s story as she tries to discover who she is and prove herself however there are bits throughout the book that describes about the Gods and how they are viewing the voyage This was very interesting to read about and helped to provide some comic moments as they argue amongst themselves and disagree about who they should supportEmily Hauser brings the setting of ancient Greece alive throughout this book I felt like I was there walking alongside Atalanta as the images she describes are so vivid I enjoyed learning a bit about the Roman s way of life and their culture The description of how the slaves were treated was very galling to read about and did make for some upsetting partsThis is Emily Hauser s second book though it is the first one I have read and I will definitely be reading of her books in the future If you enjoyed The Song Of Achilles by Madeline Miller or The Empress of Rome trilogy by Kate uinn I think you will enjoy this book as I felt they were similar in style If you are a fan of good historical fiction you must read this book It s definitely one of my top books this yearHuge thanks to Hannah Bright and Doubleday publishers for my copy of this book
