Outrun the Wind

Written by Elizabeth Tammi

Narrated by Carmen Jewel Jones

The Huntresses of Artemis must obey two rules: never disobey the goddess, and never fall in love. After being rescued from a harrowing life as an Oracle of Delphi, Kahina is glad to be a part of the Hunt; living among a group of female warriors gives her a chance to reclaim her strength. But when a routine mission goes awry, Kahina breaks the first rule in order to save the legendary huntress Atalanta.

To earn back Artemis's favor, Kahina must complete a dangerous task in the kingdom of Arkadia-where the king's daughter is revealed to be none other than Atalanta. Still reeling from her disastrous quest and her father's insistence on marriage, Atalanta isn't sure what to make of Kahina.

As her connection to Atalanta deepens, Kahina finds herself in danger of breaking Artemis's second rule. She helps Atalanta devise a dangerous game to avoid marriage, and word spreads throughout Greece, attracting suitors to go up against Atalanta in a race for her hand. But when the men responsible for both the girls' dark pasts arrive, the game turns deadly.

An interesting idea taken down well-trodden paths. The writing was spiritless; the internal timeline did not come together. I also expected a lot more wlw content.

If u don't want to read about lesbians then don't read a book about lesbians. Ignore the comment about women and men, you can't fix ignorance. This book was a good listen and the voice over went well with the story. Story plays out a bit slow but once it got started it was detailed and descriptive.

[Cheryl Kline · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

The plot was good, but the moral looseness of the characters was sad and disheartening. God made humankind as male and female and desires for a man and woman to love and marry, not women and women.

I requested this book because it included Greek mythology and I have always enjoyed that. Artemis and Apollo are, as always, in opposition with each other and their antics are a very small part of this story so I wouldn't really say this is about mythology. This story stresses the strength of feminine nature and the oppressive nature of the male psyche. The underlying theme is twofold. One theme stresses the overbearing nature of men and their expectations of women back in mythological times as an allegory for present day. The second is the friendship, love and caring relationship of two females who are opposed to the expectations of them in a patriarchal society. The writing is superb, however the very strong feminist message to refute traditional female roles was a little overpowering for me. I'm a feminist but I don't need to be smashed over the head with this message. I think this story is good but probably has a limited audience and is not really what I like to read. I received and ARC from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.
