Madeline Miller has such a way with words, every sentence is so eloquently put together, every book hundreds of pages of poetry. I love how she picks ancient gods and goddesses and tells their stories so beautifully. The reason I scored this book with a pretty average grade was because I found it difficult to keep my interest half way through and if I wasn’t listening to it, would’ve made it difficult to make it to the end. It was a story of a character that at the beginning seemed quite unremarkable however you do want to hang around to see what becomes of her. If there was a bit more interest within the middle of this books, I definitely would’ve rated it higher.
