My first Greek retelling that I have read and really enjoyed it. I don't know a lot about Greek mythologies so went into this pretty blind. Fell in love with the writing style and the development of the characters from young boys made me more invested in the characters themselves. Also the book was pretty so that was a bonus.
Graphic: Blood, War, Death, and Grief
Moderate: Slavery and Rape
