Interesting; as a mythology lover I appreciated the novel twist on familiar stories, since it is hard by now to come up with a new way to tell the myths we all know so well. It was a bit meta (I think that’s the word I want to use) and I’m sure if I had read it as part of a class there would be a LOT to analyze and read into between the covers. As it was I give it a 4 because I did like it, but I wasn’t in love with this—I’m a bit too literal to really appreciate the fine nuances of the choices the author made.
