For a celebrity's first graphic novel, this book is a must read for Greek myth fans like me. Written by actress and The Guild creator Felicia Day, The Lost Daughter of Sparta is a graphic novel about Philonoe, a Spartan princess forced to hide her unique birthmark and to marry a cruel prince. A chance to lift her family curse leads her to encounters with the moon goddess Artemis, and a lesson about what love truly is. The book is also best read while listening to the author's own narration.

This is... just perfect. I love mythology, and this story of a young woman learning her own worth is wonderful. Words don't do it justice.
