And who doesn’t deserve it, really? We’re done with chances. The three Greek Furies, come to life, ready to take our revenge on everyone who deserves it. We were only three angry girls, simmering uselessly in our seaside town, until one day a mysterious and beautiful classmate taught us what else we could be: Powerful. We hardly knew one another, but each of us nurtured a burning anger: at the jerks in our class, at our disappointing parents, at the whole flawed, unfair world. Alix, the hot-tempered surfer chick Stephanie, the nature-loving activist and me, Meg, the quiet foster kid, the one without a boyfriend or real family and who has never fit in anywhere. I anticipated most of the plot twists, but it didn’t detract from my reading experience at all – I didn’t feel the need to always be on the edge of my seat with this one.īasically, if you’re looking for an enjoyable read that you can sit down with and escape for a while, I recommend picking up Furious by Jill Wolfson.We were only three angry girls, to begin with. It was entertaining and engaging – exactly the story I was hoping for when I first started. I think my reading experience with Furious was just one of those right book at the right time moments. Meg was pretty much my favourite, but I did like Alix and Stephanie as well. Usually when there’s a set of characters like this that are all pretty much in focus, I find some of them irritating, but I enjoyed each of their journeys. I also really liked all three of the girls in Furious – Meg, Alix, and Stephanie. I felt like I was just really able to settle into the story without being overwhelmed or underwhelmed, if that makes sense. It had some great world-building it, but it wasn’t overly complicated and in depth. I recently read Vengeance Bound by Justina Ireland, so I was kind of worried that I’d be comparing the two, but honestly – they’re so vastly different, it never even crossed my mind once I started.įurious was a really enjoyable Greek mythology retelling. And Furious by Jill Wolfson is a great addition to my latest reads because not only is it paranormalish, it’s a Greek mythology retelling, so bonus points for that. I’ve been kind of on a paranormal kick lately, which almost never happens to me.
