Oracle of Helinthia - Epic of Helinthia #2

 

Oracle of Helinthia is the second book in this Greek mythology fantasy by MJ Pankey. Released 7th May 2025, it's 440 pages and is available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links. 

Well written and engaging, this mythology adventure flows directly from the first book. Readers who are unfamiliar with the back story might struggle a bit to find a footing. This is an extremely intricate and complex cast of characters (and for this reason, the ebook format is recommended for ease of search ability). The author has included the necessary/required map and hierarchy flowchart. 

Content warnings for graphic violence, murder, slavery, suicide ideation, PTSD, abuse, and psychological torture, as well as animal abuse which might be a deal-breaker for some readers. The violence isn't gratuitous, but it is difficult to read in places. 

Four stars. Tough and gritty. One for the adult classic mythology fans. 

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
