Very well done but very dense and took me a long time to get through. I liked the first half of the book but felt the modern eras were too rushed.

For a book about the total history of the Greeks (up to 2021), it covers a good chunk of everything! It was interesting, but couldn’t go into too much detail

It's not the first book I read bout Greek history but it's surely the most complete as it starts in the archaic times and covers a long timeframe.
I think that the best part are those covering archaic and classic Greek history. It's bit harder to follow after the Roman conquest but, my fault, it was the first time I read about those times.
It's an informative, well researched and well written book.
Not an easy read but I learned a lot.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

This was a good story!! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Lovers of Greek mythology will definitely enjoy this story. Myths are always very inticing, especially when they are very well written like this one was! Will definitely be buying once it's published and released! Great job to the author and publisher!
