Why read it?
1 author picked The Oracle Betrayed as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Catherine Fisher uses myths brilliantly in all her books, but best of all in the trilogy of which The Oracle is the first volume. It’s a wonderful mash-up of Egyptian and Greek legends with characters you will grow to care about more and more with every page.

From Gill's list on fantasy based on legends without dwarfs or dragons.
