It took me 7 hours and 21 minutes to read this over the course of three days (I took a break part way through). This book is much like Cerci in its content and presentation, but deals with a very different set of Greek myths, and follows a mortal perspective throughout. For me the tragedy shines more so based on the emotional pain of the characters rather than the actions they see or experience (although that is one of the major cause of their trauma).
