My only "criticism", if even that (since requiring rudimentary knowledge of a topic to read a piece of work doesn't negate its value, IMO) is that I wouldn't present this as a piece of literature those with no knowledge of mythology would instantly understand, and I look forward to re-reading it after doing my research and reading the original texts that are referenced within.
I would strongly recommend this book to those who are interested in Greek Mythology and want a decently-paced and enjoyable read, with references to pop culture spread throughout to encourage our own relatability to these characters as well as encouragement throughout to be critical of the men portrayed in the stories and to give the women a chance to be their beautiful, complicated, and sometimes devious, selves.
