4.0

it was good ultimately 3.5 i liked that hercules wasnt portrayed as strictly a huge asshole and that the multiple perspectives made him to be more human he was both good and bad depending on who the chapter focused on which i liked because i find a lot of times in modern retellings the heros only personality is being a huge ass but in this one hercules is an asshole but he also feels guilty and loves others

Best audiobook I've heard in a long time. Incredible cast, fun (and sad) story. Well written 10/10

Did not engage me. Was not particularly bad but also did not stand out in a way that made me want to keep reading.
Also seems a bit insane to claim that nobody else had told Hercules' full story before lmao
