challenging dark medium-paced

• Strong character development? N/A
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? N/A

3.0

Pros of reading this as an audiobook: I know how to say the names 
Cons of reading this as an audiobook: too many characters to keep in check, so I sometimes forgot whose story we were in. 

This was a fine collection of different greek myths, nothing too amazing, although I liked the anchoring of the stories to the act of weaving, quite unique.
