adventurous challenging dark emotional reflective slow-paced

I listened to the audiobook, and I think this book is better read than listened to. I had trouble following the story in the second half. That said, the language is gorgeous. I definitely want to reread this book.

adventurous challenging emotional inspiring mysterious reflective slow-paced

I got around 20 pages in – an interesting idea, certainly; a continuation of Odysseus's story with a different ending (post bloodbath at Ithaca). Told in an epic poem form, something I'm a little surprised doesn't really exist at all anymore (you'd think at least a few more people would've done it by now).

but I realized, with summer winding down – now is not the time I want to be starting on a 750+ pg book. I just don't have it in me (she says as she picks up GEB) – well, at least, not about this. Even though it's an interesting concept, seems well written, and I'd certainly hope to go back to it someday.
