so-soGreek mythology-based tale with lots of liberties taken. The author is changing the story, but not enough to make it interesting…just annoyingly bland/OK. If you are looking for something cool or satisfying or engaging or sexy or emotional, look elsewhere. But if you want bland boring mashed potatoes, this is the one! And the characters have no dimension or growth, just so blah! A fast but not fulfilling read.
pickNot stellar so far but not bad. I‘m a sucker for a Hades and Persephone story so we‘ll see.
pick“But this is the women‘s war, just as much as it is the men‘s, and the poet will look upon their pain - the pain of the women who have always been relegated to the edges of the story, victims of men, survivors of men, slaves of men - and he will tell it, or he will tell nothing at all. They have waited long enough for their turn.”

Ariadne‘s story was one of the first Greek myths I remember learning about in grade school. This book takes it to another level. #sundayfunday
I saw Hadestown last night. Did I know what was coming? Yes. Did I still cry? Also yes.
This is one of my favorite Greek retellings right now. I love the sub genre of these stories taking the supposed villains, especially the women, and telling their sides.
#SundayFunday Have a safe and wonderful day today, and don‘t forget to tag me in your posts!
pick4.5⭐️ I won‘t lie, I have a bit of an obsession with the Hades and persephone story. So of course, I am in the middle of Lore of Olympus, but when I saw that there was another graphic novel about their story, I could not help but to pick it up. And I‘m so glad I did. I loved how this came together, and the only thing I‘m truly sad about is the fact that book 2 doesn‘t come out until September. 10 out of 10 recommend.
