What’s your myth?
Penelope Weaver has spent her whole life preparing to attend Anaximander’s Academy, where students learn how to bring to life the stories of Greek mythology as well as discover the Greek god whose principles they most embody. Penelope knows she’s an Athena—all smart, practical, and rule-following girls who take part in stories that matter are Athenas.
But when Penelope and her twin brother Paris arrive at Anaximander’s, it appears fate has other plans. Penelope isn’t placed with Athena but with students who are anything but practical and who prefer parties to rules. And that’s just the beginning. She’s given the world’s worst muse, her assigned tasks feel impossible, and the magic of Anaximander’s is overwhelming. Not to mention, there are two very different boys making her new life even more confusing.
But as things go from bad to dangerously worse, one thing becomes in a world where everything is fated to happen a certain way, some stories need to be rewritten. As the world around her shifts and cracks, Penelope is asked to forget everything she thought she knew to help create a better story…even if that changes every plan and breaks every rule.

I'm disappointed. Here are the three key things that kill this book. One, a lack of care. This author clearly has no concern for this title. It's shallow, stilted, and poorly written. Two, a desperate need for proper editing. How did this make it into publishing? I guess it's who you know. And three, a cool blurb and concept on paper does not innately make a good book; it needs connection, which this title severely lacks.From the very first chapter you are constantly bombarded by disconnected and incomplete thoughts and imagery. I realize this sounds harsh, but there wasn't a single chapter that had a complete thought from start to finish, and when you take the chapters and put them side by side the disconnect only multiplies.You are left constantly confused because your imagination may be painting one picture only for it to be shattered when it changes in the next moment. Often the author will begin a thought or description and then just move on. It would not surprise me if the author had AI write the story and she came in behind it to "fix" or "rewrite."It's disappointing. I was excited for a new Greek mythology adventure. I was thrilled for a new Academic story. I was hoping for intrigue, drama, excitement, comedy, and whimsy. Here, Tracy Wolff delivers all of the right things in the wrong way. Comedy in the illogical absurdity of this story. Whimsy, excitement, and intrigue in never knowing what disconnected thought you will be left with next. And drama solely your own, as the reader, when you become lost for the tenth time thinking, "Wait, what?" or "What now?"Thanks Tracy. As a first time reader of your books I have been sufficiently warned.
