3.75
It’s pretty good, I do enjoy queer Greek mythology stories. That said I also like a happy ending and this one was bittersweet enough that if I’d known the end I probably wouldn’t have picked it up. It’s probably better than a 3.75 but I docked it points for making me sad. Plus, I prefer stories that have a more creative answer than making the boy commit suicide because it’s his duty.
Graphic: Child death, Death, Suicide, and Violence
Moderate: Sexual assault and Slavery
