I was rating the individual novellas, and while I did enjoy them on their own to varying degrees, it is as a whole the story really shines. I appreciated the attention paid to the details in both Greek mythology and cookery/restauranteering, and grew increasingly fond of the characters as I progressed through the stories. Overall I really enjoyed the complete omnibus and would recommend it to anyone with an appreciation for Greek mythology looking for a cozy break (but it will make you hungry).

Chapters ranged from 5 to 12 pages long with excellent flow. 
Cozy Greek mythological creatures with a modern twist.
