From Emily R. King, author of the Hundredth Queen series, comes an epic novel of ancient Greece, Titans and treachery, and the women who dare to rise up against the tyranny of the Golden Age.

My mother told me that men would speak about the Golden Age as a time of peace and happiness for all… However, the women of our age would tell a very different story…

Cronus, God of Gods, whose inheritance is the world. Among his possessions: women, imprisoned and fated to serve. The strong-minded Althea Lambros controls her own fate and lives to honor her dying mother’s plea to protect her two sisters at all costs. Althea’s journey toward crushing the tyranny has begun. It is a destiny foretold by the Fates. And she is following their visions.

On the southern isle of Crete, hidden among mortal women who have fled the Titans, is the Boy God, son of Cronus and believed dead. He shares Althea’s destiny to vanquish the Almighty―fate willing. Because Cronus has caught wind of the plot. He’s amassing his own forces against Althea’s righteous rebellion and all those who will no longer surrender or run. There will be war. If she’s to survive to write their history, the indomitable Althea must soar higher than any god.

Review

An Amazon Best Book of the Month: Science Fiction & Fantasy

“Sumptuous…King ably weaves Greek mythology into a cat-and-mouse spectacle. Readers will cheer for Althea as she upholds her family’s honor and fights belligerent gods with determination and confidence. This is a winner.” ―Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Sharp prose and smart characters…King (Hundredth Queen series) takes a fresh look at the Greek pantheon to create a clamor for the next book of this new series.” ―Library Journal

Review - Wings of Fury
Initial ThoughtsI actually grabbed a copy of this book from Amazon's first reads program but was subsequently provided with a NetGalley widget courtesy of the publisher. Anyway, the fact that it was my first reads choice should show how excited I was to read this book. I've read all of Emily R. King's books so far.Some Things I LikedMythology in a new light. I loved that this had so many familiar themes and names from the "mythology we learned in school" but they were utilized in such a unique and modern way.Modern lens. I also loved the way modern thinking and progressive ideas were woven into the story. Althea was a strong MC who never stopped fighting for herself or her sisters and I loved her for that. Greek Mythology is often filled with themes of patriarchy and I really enjoyed seeing those themes put aside for this story.Plot twists. I also applaud Emily's ability to keep me on the edge of my seat with those twists.Zeus as a brother and not a love interest. We all know that Zeus and Hera were married and ruled Mount Olympus but I was so glad to see that Zeus was entirely relegated to "little brother" in this story as opposed to a viable love interest for Althea.Series ValueI can't wait to read the next book in this series. I also feel like I can easily see myself rereading this book before reading book 2 (not out of necessity, but rather because I enjoyed the story that much.)Final ThoughtsI really loved this book. I think it's my favorite Emily R. King book to date.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Recommended for Further ReadingGo the Distance by Jen CalonitaLore by Alexandra Bracken

I give this one 4.5 stars…. Only thing preventing a full 5 is that part of the world building took some getting used to. I sometimes felt like I was reading a 2nd book and should have already been familiar with some terms and details.
Outside of that, I loved the storyline and twists. King did a good job creating a heroine that others can love and root for.
Really enjoyed this one, and it was a nice easy read with a good pace.

4.0 out of 5 stars Emily King writes another captivating story!
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2021

I love the way Emily King portrays her women. They are strong and brave, intelligent, and not willing to be defined by others. She is also fair with men--depicting those who would dominate rather than respect others, as well as those who are more "enlightened" in their approach to both women and men. I do wonder, though, why those men are "heroes" just because they don't act like cavemen. It seems that is the only way a normal man "should" act. But therein is the problem.

The story in a setting during the time of Titans in Greek mythology, leads in a direction where a woman will help a young man unseat a ruthless ruler. Her journey leads her to find her true self. In some ways, though, I wish she had been successful as a mortal woman. The backdrop of inaccurate Greek mythology doesn't bother me at all, because this is fantasy and the author can do with it what she wants. She writes a creative story about the struggles of the protagonist that are relatable.

Being an older woman still in the workplace, I related to this story as I must continue to fight everyday for my position, being respected, and to be heard. Because I stand my ground, men refer to me as a "_itch" and I always counter with "do not mistake my strength for something negative." I am not trying to be a "feminist" or trying to impose my attitudes on anyone else. I am simply living in a world where many men despise a women's strength, and where women still are afraid of a man's reaction if they don't tiptoe around their testosterone. I think King's character, Althea is stating the same. She just wants to live her life as herself, with the same rights and freedom as others. Sad that after 2000 years of civilization, humanity has not evolved very much.

The story is creative, descriptive, and captivating. I love the characters and their struggles. I will read the next in the installment.

If she's to survive to write their history, the indomitable Althea must soar higher than any god.

Positives: The book is a fast-paced and action-packed adventure that explores themes of feminism, freedom, and destiny. The author creates a vivid and immersive world of ancient Greece, with rich details and mythology. The characters are well-developed and complex, each with their own motivations and flaws. The romance between Althea and the Boy God is sweet and passionate, with a hint of forbidden love.

Negatives: The book is not very original or surprising, as it follows a typical YA fantasy formula of a chosen one, a prophecy, a rebellion, and a love triangle. The plot is sometimes predictable and convenient, with some deus ex machina moments and coincidences. The writing style is simple and straightforward, but lacks some depth and nuance.

Reading the details of the book I had a very different idea of how this was going to play out.

I am a huge Greek mythology fan, and this book surpassed my expectations. Althea is a dauntless heroine that should be aspiring to all young women.

I can’t speak too much on this book without giving any of it away. But I will say that it’s extremely well written. You can tell that Emily R King did immense research on the mythology before writing it. This will forever be on of my top favourites.

Bought the two books Wings of Fury and Crown of Cinders because of they were on special offer from Kindle Store and they had good reviews. When I began to read the first book, I began to think they were not going to be to my taste, but as with all books I buy, I persevere. I'm so glad I did. What a story

Have to say mythology is still not my thing but I can't wait to read the follows on book. Hope it's as good as this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars YA/NA take on Greek mythology
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 21, 2021

A YA/NA Greek mythology story.

Three sisters Cleora, Bronte and Althea despise the God
Cronus (known for eating his children) and for treating females as inferior. Cronus is also responsible for the death of their mother Stavra as he got her pregnant and she died following the birth of a half Titan. Cronus sends one of his soldiers to retrieve the baby girl and the soldier brands Althea with an ownership mark vowing to return for her when she is of age.

When Althea is 18 she attends the town market and visits oracles, who tell her her fate and that she must find the Son of Cronus who has been hidden from him as he is the key to his downfall.

Althea journeys with Theo, a soldier who assisted her and her sister Bronte following Cleora’s capture and they encounter the boy god Zeus. Their travels have them meeting many of the gods - Helios, Selene, Eos who try and help them in their task of defeating Cronus.

There is always a twist and nothing is ever as it seems as the pull that Althea has had inside her has a greater explanation than she could ever have imagined.

A fascinating story of the Greek gods that kept me intrigued. I’m looking forward to reading book 2.
