What did I think?
I love historical myths and retellings so I was very eager to read Goddess with a Thousand Faces and I was completely blown away by this amazing book. Jasmine Elmer has selected ten ancient goddesses from a vast range of cultures, some you will know and some you won't, and retold their stories.
The retellings are breathtaking and really bring each goddess to life. Each retelling is followed by the history of the goddess, their country and their culture. I learnt so much whilst reading this fabulous book and although I read it cover to cover, it's a book you can dip in and out of at your own pace.
I was astonished at the differences of the goddesses; they are all unique with their own individual characteristics. I was shocked that I had only heard of three out of the ten goddesses and have to applaud Jasmine Elmer for telling their stories and reminding the world about these powerful goddesses.
Informative, empowering and contemplative, Goddess with a Thousand Faces is a powerful novel that encourages introspection and perhaps you will see glimpses of these mighty goddesses within yourself.
I received an ARC to read and review for the blog tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
