God of Fire: Greek Myths A New Retelling Audiobook by Helen Steadman – Review by Emily H

God of Fire by Helen Steadman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hephaestus was born and thrown away by his mother Hera. Raised by the sea witch, Hephaestus, the God of Fire, did his best to stay under the radar but his poor leg he found himself lacking but a gift becomes a power. He meets his brother and sister who he barely tolerates. Everything changes though when he meets his mother again and she demands he stay with her. Not because she feels any love, but because she wants the gifts he can make with fire and iron. All is not appears though Hephaestus is mindful in everything he does.

The story takes you on a tale filled with mythological gods and goddesses that you have heard stories of. I had not read of Hephaestus though. I listened to this on audiobook and the narration is fantastic. All the emotions with the different characters are read so well, you are swooped up in the story.
