The Fates

De: Rosie Garland

Narrado por: Genevieve Gaunt, Glen McCready, Rosalind Lailey, Sebastian Humphreys

'A really thrilling and totally original story of Greek mythology that I can't recommend highly enough' JENNIFER SAINT, author of Ariadne and Atalanta

'Lyrical, imaginative, visceral, urgent, moving, adventurous . . . brings The Fates startlingly back to life' SEAN LUSK, author of The Second Sight of Zachary Cloudesley

'Passionate, angry, empowering and beautiful' LOUISE BEECH, author of Nothing Else

Before Gods and mortals, there were The Fates . . .

You've heard the legends: three sisters born out of Nyx's darkness, destined to weave the lives, and deaths, of humankind for eternity.

But immortality is a heavy burden, and Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos are captivated by the gloriously human lives of the mortals below, especially those of the great warrior Atalanta and her ill-fated lover, Meleager.

However, being a Goddess of Fate doesn't make you a master of it. Will these three sisters find a way to free the couple, and themselves, from their destinies? Or will they be bound by Fate forever?

Great story

Loved everything about this book. A great story with wonderful narration. If you liked Circe, you will definitely enjoy this book.

Awesome!!!!!

I loved this book so much!! It kept me company all weekend! I will miss Atalanta and her friends. I love this perspective of the Fates. It was humorous, poignant, and entertaining. Well written and well narrated, I couldn’t put it down!

Great listen

Great job throughout. from the writing to the narration. A very enjoyable listen. I recommend this book.

In site of the Fates

This story follows closely to Atalanta but not like you’ve heard it before. Don’t fret it is all explained. I love that it is a story of the Fates and their relationship with their mother! It also shows the less favorable side of Zeus which a lot of writers neglect to do. I absolutely loved it. The voice narration was also very calming. I can listen to this book while driving or right before bed. Loved every moment!

Not my favorite Atalanta story

I had got this audio book right after listening to a another Atalanta audiobook on accident I didn’t realize until it was too late so maybe my judgment is bias. I feel like this book was overly wordy and repetitive. I did not enjoy the Zeus parts I get that it was supposed to show how cruel and petty the Gods are but it was like a teenager wrote- how to be bad… I honestly couldn’t wait for it to be over. The ending was drug out too long as well, I was like the story is over, no way there is over an hour left !!!! However I did make it though so it wasn’t terrible-there are just better stories.
