DAUGHTER OF SPARTA Daughter of Sparta, Book 1

In this audio interpretation of the myth of Daphne and Apollo, 17-year-old Daphne has trained to be a Spartan warrior. Narrator Brittany Presley gives Daphne a tough exterior, especially when she must take on an unexpected quest in order to save her brother's life. Nine mysterious gifts have been stolen, and it's up to Daphne to return them before the gods' power fades and the mortal world is sent into chaos. Accompanied by Apollo, Daphne embarks upon a journey that will place her in the center of various mythological stories. Pressley softens Daphne's personality as she carries out her quest, and her smooth, tempting portrayal of Apollo adds to the romantic subplot. Her pacing ramps up the excitement and makes this an enjoyable listen for mythology fans. S.B.T. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2021]
