Book Blurb:
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.

My Review:
4 Out Of 5 Stars
Genre: Another-World, Retelling, Romance, Royal-Court, Supernatural, Suspense--
Wings of Fury was a super interesting take on the origins of the Greek Gods, told from the unsuspecting eyes of a girl who just wanted her freedom. I have come to expect strong female characters and lots of action from this author and this was another great example of that. I enjoyed how this took the traditionally excepted Greek mythology and ran with it to create something new and fresh from the typical with some surprising twists I could not have predicted.
While the ending was for the most part (or at least at a temporary truce) resolved, this is the first book in a series and there is so much more to come with what I expect to be a crazy epic battle with the Titans. Side note for those familiar with the author's other books, this is not a YA novel, more a New Adult series due to sexual content.

Keep an eye out for the next book in the Wings of Fury Series:
Book Blurb:
Crown of Cinder (Wings of Fury #2) by Emily R. King
Release Date: 05 October 2021
Althea’s head is still spinning from her discovery that she’s Hera, daughter of Cronus, the terrible Titan king. After Althea failed to cast Cronus down into the deepest pit of Tartarus, the king calls upon his powerful allies, the elder Titans who reign supreme over the heavens, earth, and seas. To force Althea to surrender, the elder Titans rain down wrath upon the mortal world with earthquakes, famine, pestilence, hurricanes, and all manner of destruction. Lukas, Althea’s friend and confidant, hides her and her godly siblings, but they can’t run forever. She must recruit allies from the younger Titans before the afflicted mortals turn them into Cronus in exchange for peace.
Poseidon and Hades are also in hiding. Althea sets out to find her brothers, but hunting them down without getting caught and persuading them to stand against their all-powerful father will be next to impossible. Althea has a lot to learn about
her newly restored crown and Titaness powers. She must divide heaven and earth to protect her mortal home and friends and unite her brothers and sisters in the war to end all wars.
