mmh, where to start?
as a fan of greek mythology i have read my fair share of retellings, so when i found this book i was very intrigued by the concept.
Sadly, it was not done well, the first 150 pages were incredibly boring and i struggled to get through them, i hated every character (which was kinda the point of this book i guess).
Now the author has the humor of a 5 year old, and i dont even wanna comment the fatphobia and the sexual assault that happen in this book.
Overall, it was an easy read with a good concept that could have been done so much better.
