2017 Sunburst Award for Adult Fiction FinalistNecessity: the sequel to the acclaimed The Just City and The Philosopher Kings, Jo Waltons tales of gods, humans, and what they have to learn from one another.More than sixtyfive years ago, Pallas Athena founded the Just City on an island in the eastern Mediterranean, placing it centuries before the Trojan War, populating it with teachers and children from throughout human history, and committing it to building a society based on the principles of Platos Republic. Among the Citys children was Pytheas, secretly the god Apollo in human form.Sixty years ago, the Just City schismed into five cities, each devoted to a different version of the original vision.Forty years ago, the five cities managed to bring their squabbles to a close. But in consequence of their struggle, their existence finally came to the attention of Zeus, who cant allow them to remain in deep antiquity, changing the course of human history. Convinced by Apollo to spare the Cities, Zeus instead moved everything on the island to the planet Plato, circling its own distant sun.Now, more than a generation has passed. The Cities are flourishing on Plato, and even trading with multiple alien species. Then, on the same day, two things happen. Pytheas dies as a human, returning immediately as Apollo in his full glory. And theres suddenly a human ship in orbit around Platoa ship from Earth.

I've been diving into 'Thessaly' by Necessity and it's been an intriguing read so far. The characters are well-developed, and I love how the plot unfolds in such a vivid way. It’s perfect for my book club discussions, and everyone is eager to talk about it!

Not My Cup of Tea
I didn’t enjoy 'Thessaly' as much as I hoped. The story just didn’t grab me, and I felt lost at times. Maybe it’s just not my style. If you like slower-paced novels with heavy themes, give it a try, but it wasn’t for me.

Interesting, But a Bit Slow
'Thessaly' is a novel that's beautifully written, but I found some parts dragged on a bit. The themes are deep, and while I appreciate the effort, I wish it picked up the pace in the middle. Still worth reading if you enjoy thoughtful narratives.
