I think I have been in book burnout the last month and a bit. So I decided to focus on crafting things during that time (it‘s winter, items are needed for our local foodbank). Now I have n urge to read, so hoping to get back into it.

The Voyage Home | Pat Barker

The Voyage Home (Women of Troy 3), by Pat Barker (2024) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: A Trojan nurse accompanies the doomed prophetess Cassandra to her fate as Agamemnon‘s entourage returns home.

Review: In a landscape overstuffed with retellings, once again this effort from Pat Barker elevates the genre to its full potential. It was jarring not to have Briseis as our point-of-view character in this third book. Cont.

Mattsbookaday But, I was glad to see Cassandra‘s story brought to its satisfying, sad and fated end. There‘s a reason why these stories have survived for thousands of years; they reflect incredible psychological depth and complexity, and I‘m grateful for Pat Barker for going above and beyond in shining a new light on them.

Bookish Pair: For a fun recent novel that uses Euripides‘s take on this saga as a backdrop, Ferdia Lennon‘s Glorious Exploits (2024).

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

51/100 I know it's an old saying, but honestly, I could listen to Stephen Fry read a phone book, if they still existed. His narration really brings the story of Odessus to life, it's often quite funny when it's not being tragic, as Odessus has one misadventure after another, both helped and hindered by the various gods of Olympus. I know this is the last book of his Greek Mythology series, but I love to see him tackle Norse mythology. 5 🌟 read

dabbe I just started reading MYTHOS. I'm thinking I need to listen to it, instead. I love Stephen Fry! 💚💜💚 2mo
RamsFan1963 He has an amazing voice, and I love his characterization of Zeus, the most harassed father in history, always having his children pestering him for favors or to clean up messes they've mad in the mortal world. 2mo

This is “the book” for anyone who likes Greek Mythology. At first it was a little overwhelming with the sheer amount of myths being told, but soon you get used to the rhythm of one coming directly after another. I absolutely loved Stephen Fry‘s author/written voice. He was witty and charming as he added his commentary to the myths. I already have the next book detailing the hero‘s! Can‘t wait.

dabbe I just bought this and am now inspired to read it! 🩵 3mo

Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Oh Boy! I did not know that Stephen Fry had a 4th book in the Greek Mythology series. I need to finish my current audiobook so I can get to this. I know it's going to be another winner. #SeriesLove2025
