an intensely personal and emotional collection.
Its been a long time since I've read a collection of poems that pretty much all rhyme. I enjoyed it though there were a couple here and there that felt a bit teen-angsty.
Overall though, good collection. Really liked those that were in Scots.

Action packed as per usual. Loved seeing some of my favorite characters again. Mysterious enough and funny. Dear God, thoug I find Apollo really annoying

I think the translation might be slightly off, as it was sometimes hard to tell who was speaking what lines of dialogue.
but other than that, time travel in a way that is said to be pointless, but is really very meaningful.

This is Good Poems for Hard Times.
For some reason, I figured they'd cheer me up or be comforting.
Mostly, they just made me more sad.
Welp, them's the breaks
