5 out of 5 stars.

The Three Sisters: The Progeny of Daedalus by Jeffrey MacLeod is a thrilling follow-up to The Curse of Hera. Action follows Ilia, Danae, and Leda three sisters who are the reincarnations of beauties from Greek mythology cursed by Hera. Apollo gives them unique gifts—Ilia has divine wisdom, Danae has superhuman strength, and Leda has an enchanting voice that can persuade anyone. In this sequel, they venture into King Minos’ labyrinth in search of Daedalus’ Wings hoping to end the ancient curse that binds them. If they fail, this will ignite another Trojan War bringing global catastrophe. The narrative skillfully interweaves modern life with mythological elements resulting in an interesting and immersive story. MacLeod excels at developing characters and vividly portrays the sisters as they mature under their loving father’s care despite the dangers involved. Being full of suspenseful events and adventures, especially in the scenes which take place in the labyrinth it keeps one going until one finds out what happens next. Therefore The Three Sisters: The Progeny of Daedalus is a highly impressive combination of fantasy and mythology worth 5 star rating.

MacLeod also effectively incorporates suspenseful moments where readers are kept guessing about what might happen next throughout the book. For instance, we feel like we are there ourselves because of how he describes those scenes in the maze thereby creating a lively environment.

Moreover, there is significant character development for even minor characters such as their dad who endeavors to help them despite impossible odds creating some real emotions throughout​.

Jeffrey MacLeod’s "The Three Sisters: The Progeny of Daedalus" sometimes goes too deep into complicated mythological aspects that may make it difficult for some readers to understand everything. Besides, its plot often becomes very complex at times making it hard to comprehend everything being narrated here since it is difficult to know where the author wants to take his readers. Nevertheless, these are just minor concerns as they do not take away from this book’s overall magnificence hence its 5-star rating being justified.

The book has perfect writing and editing without any flaws in it and thus is rated at 5 stars.

The Three Sisters: The Progeny of Daedalus by Jeffrey MacLeod is more than just a mythological tale; it is a story about family, resilience, and the everlasting power of love and unity. This literary gem by Jeffrey MacLeod deserves to be recognized. Anyone who loves fantasy or mythology or simply appreciates an amazing story that will stay with him or her for a long time after reading should get a copy of this novel. Therefore, without any doubt, I find that this book deserves a 5-star rating.
