4.5 rounded up

I really love this author's fiction, but wasn't quite sure how that would translate to non-fiction. Thankfully I quite enjoyed this!

Really interesting break-down of the Heroine's journey as opposed to the Hero's journey, and as the author says, you'll start noticing it everywhere in the media you consume after reading! The chapters are short, the tone light and charming, with some really great examples from both mythology and modern pop-culture--it felt very readable and went by quickly!

There are places where it feels repetitive, the tone didn't always totally work for me, and certainly this isn't (nor is it meant to me) a comprehensive break down or academic analysis. But I thought it was enjoyable and really interesting, and I'd say it's absolutely worth a read if you're a writer, or if you're a fan of books and media, particularly if you're a reviewer, as there is absolutely stuff in here to interest you!
