Review Detail

Hello. It's me again with another Greek retelling.

I am a sucker for Greek retelling books and one of Hekate? Yes, please. It was so refreshing to get a story of a Goddess that isn't talked about too much. At first I was a little worried because it was all told in poetry but honestly - it was the perfect way to tell Hekate's tale.

The story takes us from Hekate's birth, to the war of the Gods, and finally to Hekate becoming a Goddess and winning the war against the Giants. I loved the way this book was written in stanzas. It felt so fitting to tell this Greek story in this way. No extra flourishing words and details - just Hekate's story.

One of my favorite things about reading books like this is learning the history I didn't know. I knew of Hekate's name but not of her persona. This book made me love her and want to know more about her. Nikita Gill truly made Hekate her own story, and after reading it - as she should.

Overall, Hekate by Nikita Gill was an amazing storytelling of the Witch Goddess Hekate. Told in poetry, Gill gives the readers Hekate's story and becoming the Goddess that she is. I loved this story and thought the writing was perfect. For a Greek story, it made sense to write this in a poetic style without wasting time on extra words. It was beautifully told and I think will draw a lot of interest to this Goddess who typically doesn't get her story told.
