gabalodon 's review for:

Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips

4.0

---

I didn't have super high expectations for this one so I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't incredible but there were some particular things that I thought were done well. It seemed to be a particularly faithful representation of the Greek gods in that they were self-absorbed and apathetic to mortals except when it came to how they can be tools to serve the gods' own interests, and the modern spin on that was fun. I also thought the plot was surprisingly well-structured. Plot points and descriptive details linked together well in unexpected ways. The characterizations were very vivid (I listened to the audiobook and the voices were A+). Idk that I'd bother to read it again, I'm happy that I happened to read it once, and I wouldn't have been devastated to have missed out.
