Morsom, lærerik, navnrik. Veldig sterk start med skapelsen, titane og de originale gudene, men etterkvart blir det litt mykje navn og litt information overload for min del. Hvis du er interessert i gresk mytologi, les denne boka. Hvis ikkje; ikkje les den.

Most people know a Greek myth or two, whether fully or just in name. I certainly know a few but while they've always fascinated me I've never found a good retelling. Mythis was exactly that, a lively, entertaining and interesting telling of the Greek myths.

It was funny but rich with detail, it was surprisingly easy to follow and to keep track of stories and characters and was genuinely enjoyable to read.

I think the book would have worked better than the audiobook, the names got very muddled for me and it sounded a bit like a 15 hour lecture

I don’t think I’ll read the others by I do have the next 2 books so idk
