Editorial Reviews

"I felt the despair, hope and longing that was described so vividly right along with the main character. I could close my eyes and picture the landscape and the people without even trying..."

"In this beautifully written first novel, Cheri Lasota pens an epic tale of romance and fate versus free will with a strong female lead... Lasota's writing style is gorgeous and poetic, but the plot moves at a generous pacing and never gets bogged down by the narrative."

"This book is filled with a complex yet fluid retelling of two separate myths that have been intricately weaved together in a way that it pulls you head-first into the story. Throughout it all I found myself completely entranced by this, and I had a hard time putting down my Kindle once I got started. Only for the need of sleep did it take me two days to finish...Lasota did a wonderful job of creating characters that were truly human in their decisions and desires."

"While it's easy to get wrapped up in the myth and legend that Lasota has so skillfully laid out here, this book is surprising in both its depth and its message. It gets even more intense as it nears the end. The characters are solid and true. Most of all, Arethusa is a unique heroine of uncommon strength who will have you rooting for her all the way. It's a love story unlike any other, making Artemis Rising even more memorable."
