3.0

I had much higher hopes for this book. It started off good— informative, and well researched. I was quite excited to get the entire history on Cadmus and Harmony, and their marriage. Except, unfortunately it quickly got off that topic and started discussing other Greek mythological topics. That’s great and all, but it caught me off guard and was not what I was expecting. I would have rated this book just two stars, but because it is so well written and thoroughly researched I am giving it three.
