I thought this book was going to be gayer.
And it was, eventually, but it kind of seemed like an afterthought. The twists at the end were pretty interesting, and I’ve really been in this groove with reading mythological retellings. I just think that on the heels of reading A Song of Achilles (pun absolutely intended) and Circe, I had super high expectations for these kind of books. While still quite good, it didn’t have the same kind of lyricism as Madeline Miller. Although I suppose that’s more fitting for a Norse-inspired novel though.
