Evadne, ein junges Mädchen aus dem antiken Griechenland, wird von Sklavenhändlern entführt und weit von ihrer geliebten Heimat fortgeschleppt. An der Küste eines unbekannten Landes werden sie angegriffen und nur Evadne wird verschont, denn die Angreifer sind die legendären Amazonen und Evadne scheint der verschollenen Schwester ihrer mächtigen Königin aufs Haar zu gleichen. Sie sind freundlich, machen Evadne zu einer der ihren, doch sie kann weder ihre Heimat, noch ihr eigenes, sanftes Wesen vergessen. Sie will zurückkehren.
My Review
I found this book interesting. The reason I picked up this book, was because I was in need of a book with animal characters in it, so when I scanned the book name list and saw the words "dove" and "hawk" in the title, I was already getting excited that I found just the right book. But actually, this book is less about animals and more about the Ancient Greeks belief in Amazons. Amazons are women in Ancient Greece who did everything a man was supposed to do in that time. Their motto being "We don't need men!" or something like that. Basically this book was about a girl who got kidnapped and then has to adjust to a new lifestyle. I found the plot very interesting and my favourite character was a girl called Thoösa. She was funny and always supported Evadne/Myrine. You can see a lot of character development in this book.
Even though, I still thought that the conversations between the characters were slightly silly, it keeps on repeating a bit.
Overall, I will give this book 4 out of 5 stars!
