Honestly I just don't really understand what this book is for.
It's not organised well enough to be a good reference resource and it's not written well enough to be worth reading for the entertainment.

I almost DNFed it but ended up sticking with it and I will say it got better as it went along.

Also before I started it I thought it might be interesting for people who enjoy crafts and wanted to learn more about Greek mythology but the weaving framework really barely makes any impact to the text.

Loved the weaving aspect, it’s uniquely written and I love that the retellings incorporate Hecate more. *Personal* Don’t like the illustrations

Didn’t learn anything new and a shame it was all through weaving
