This is so incredibly done and unlike other ‘feminist’ myth retellings, i felt that it actually focused on the women rather than on man hating (silence of the girls im looking at you). I loved that this told so many stories, many of those being ones i’ve never heard before and haynes is a lyrical genius staging this as an epic in its own right rather than an alternative of an existing one! I thoroughly enjoyed it!!
