I really don't know much about Greek myths, I never got into them much as a kid, but I have been reading a lot of retellings of Greek myths as an adult and love them, so it was great learning some of the background about those amazing female characters who have gotten screwed over by so many other narratives. The chapter on Madea is possibly The best--it's incredibly intense and emotionally powerful. But I also love the chapters on Medusa, Pandora, and the Amazons.
The author also has a great voice and sense of humor which made this audiobook all the more enjoyable.

I am really not familiar with all the characters of Greek mythology, so I had to properly concentrate to keep going.
I liked the reflections and overall POV. Well done.
Maybe now I might read Circe?

Some chapters were better than others (but I think this is natural and also affected by personal taste), and some of the analysis felt like a stretch or just commentary for the sake of commentary.
