I like the cover. It feels very appropriate for a Greek retelling.
The beginning of the excerpt is interesting and fast-paced, but it quickly slows down. Partly because it gets bogged down in flashbacks that interrupt the momentum of the present tense, and partly because the telling of the events becomes almost clinical which drains all the tension out of them.
