This book was really a very interesting read. These myths are so cool to know about and it makes it even more awesome to think that people used to actually believe these stories rather than them just being regular pieces of fiction. These myths were intended to be believed instead of merely entertain. This knowledge gives these stories an extra little boost which any other 'fantasy' novel would obviously miss. It’s fascinating.

Aside from this, however, I do have to point out that the way these myths were written down in this particular book did not grip me completely. The stories were told in a rather stiff manner, never diving deep into any emotional territory. I suppose this must have been necessary to stay as close as possible to the source material of these myths and I can applaud it for that, but it did lower the entertainment aspect slightly.
