adventurous challenging informative reflective tense slow-paced

5.0

I'm so glad I read this! Part creation story, part epic adventure, it's about coming to life and the triumph over death. The story is told in a non-chronological way, and this particular translation is in verse. I love both of those things tremendously, but I know they can be deal-breakers for others, so I thought it worth mentioning them here. 

As someone with exactly zero expertise in this area of study, I found this translation engaging and approachable. I wasn't expecting how funny and touching some bits would be!
