Hoffman here gives us a poetic retelling of the myths surrounding the warrior tribe of Amazonian women, in particular the coming of age of Rain, and her acceptance and assumption of her authority and reign as Queen of the Amazons, leading them into a new life.

Rain is born of sorrow, ignored by her mother the Queen. She is raised by the tribe and struggles with identity and belonging. Ultimately she embraces her differences, history and strength, thus able to meet her destiny.

This retelling was well-written and conceptualized. It was just lovely.
