I came pretty close to crying at the end, and that doesn't happen very often.
Makes for difficult reading at times and some parts feel a little blunt, but overall a good retelling of myth that brings a humanity to the stories (even if the POV character isn't human).

Graphic: Body horror and Murder
Moderate: Rape, Cannibalism, and War
Minor: Child death and Incest
