My review of The Temple of Fortuna by Elodie Harper is now up at Shiny New Books. Warning: this is the third book in a trilogy and it's hard to avoid spoilers for the first two.

In short: read these books, they are excellent. Note trigger warnings for sexual abuse (the central character has been forced into prostitution in ancient Pompeii) and volcanic eruptions.

The Temple of Fortuna by Elodie Harper

Thrilling conclusion to the Wolf Den trilogy, in which the Vesuvius eruption we've all been waiting for finally happens, but the real story is how life goes on after.

Three Apples Fell from the Sky by Narine Abgaryan, translated by Lisa C. Hayden

@mythologymonday Mary Renault‘s Theseus books are still some of my favorites. A thrilling re-envisioning of an ancient time, that keeps a sense of its strangeness instead of infecting it with contemporary language and mores.
