magikskydad's review

It was very well written but incredibly triggering for me. It is not an anthology for the light hearted.

Wonderful book but if you’re struggling with mental health I would be gentle with your self. It’s pretty rough.

Incredible retelling of myths I knew well, recognized, and didn't know prior to reading. I loved the structuring of each narrator's story within the larger book which, per the author's note, was intentional and therefore I appreciated it even more. Because of who the narrators are, the majority are very tough to read, especially if the topics at hand are personally triggering. I'm rarely bothered by any questionable content and even I started squirming during a few of these retellings. But then a hard tale is followed up by a beautiful one and it just all flows so well. This was read during a time I'm only reading from the library, and I plan to add this to my personal collection soon.
