I love greek mythology and I’d heard such praise about PJ that I had high hopes for the series. Did not deliver. Much sad.

Eurocentrism is a key feature of the world building. Uses ableist language uncritically throughout (e.g., the “c” word to refer to disability and the colloquial/derogatory use of the word “lame”)
