I've been meaning to read the Odyssey for about 3 years, ever since discovering Epic the Musical on tiktok.
Well I finally did.

I feel like this story is the embodiment of a 4 year old's "and then what happened" energy.
So many twists and crazy adventures. 
I did enjoy seeing the inspiration for Epic from start to finish.
Reading it definitely made me appreciate Jorge Herrans genius.
I don't know if it's a story I'll read over and over, but I can guarantee I'll be playing the epicthemusical music on repeat.
