lighthearted
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
4.0
One of the best takes on the Epic Cycle. Reinterprets many classic moments including “The Myrmidon Golem” where Achilles is replaced by a golem , “Death and the King” where Paris rules the land of the dead and Agamemnon starts a war against Death himself , and “Last Islands” where an older Odysseus revisits the islands which plagued him in his youth . Each reread brings a new favorite for me, this time being “The Long Way Back”, which features Theseus and Ariadne .
Moderate: Death, Violence, and War
