5.0

I've been waiting for this book to become available on Audible Canada for so long! Finally it is, and it was worth the wait. The third installment of the Mythos series is just as good as the first two and just as enthralling. As someone who loves Greek mythology, this book was very entertaining to me and I don't think I've ever heard the story told this way before. Definitely a new classic.

Not my favourite of Stephen Fry’s mythology books but a good read nonetheless. Fry brings a nice touch of humour to what could easily be a depressing tale.

Stephen Fry is always a treat. I highly recommend the audiobook version because he reads it and it is a pure delight.
