I'm sad to say that I didn't enjoy this book. I love Greek mythology, so I was really looking forward to reading this, but unfortunately, I think this book is really boring. There are some things that are interesting, but they don't save the overall story from being pretty dull. There are also quite a few places in the book where the language and the way it's written is so flowery to the point where it feels forced and pretentious. I really wanted to love this book, which makes it worse because I'm just left feeling disappointed.
Graphic: Misogyny, Suicide, Gaslighting, and Abandonment
Moderate: Child death
Minor: Rape and Death of parent
