Stone Blind is a moving and rather beautiful book. Despite how dark it can be at times, it is told in a rather playful way that keeps you entertained. 

I don’t normally go for retellings like this. But I have to say I really enjoyed this book. 

I am not someone who digs super deep into books or debates over and over about what is in them. I prefer to focus on whether it is enjoyable or not, and the way this story is told makes the entire thing entertaining. 

It really shows how monstrous men can be compared to those whom mortals consider monsters and how monstrous the gods they worship truly are.

It was a bit challenging to keep up with all the characters, but if you are well-read on Olympian Mythos, you would probably do much better than I did.
