I have just one final word of advice for you younger folks. Take my word, it really does help to know beforehand the kind of person you're going to spend eternity with.
A very good retelling and reimagining of the myth of Ganymede and Zeus. It's still remains faithful to the original myth but it is also full of originality. Really love the whole new addition of Sarpedon, Hermes, Ares, and Apollo. Surprising King Minos is not in this story though. The author seemed to know a whole lot about Greek myth. Very fun story though with well-written characters. The twist with Ganymede's father, King Tros being a bad father works well eventhough he supposedly really loves his son. And that final scene of Zeus reunites with Ganymede is 10/10 iconic.

When you listen to audiobooks on a regular basis, as a listener you start to find performers you love. Before you know it, when you’re looking at the lists of audiobooks, you’re searching the listings not by title or author, but by who performs the audiobook, and then reading the blurbs of the books they’ve done. Finding a new and awesome performer is like finding a new author, and in fact absolutely leads to just that: finding new authors through the performer.
