I can usually find something good about any book. This is an exception. I picked it up to try and get me into greek mythology again, thinking a shorter story would be good for that. This felt like something from an old time dime novel. It also felt like it would be marked "#deep." I can't put my finger on it quite, but it had a weird sense of something I feel was self-righteousness. Why? Not sure and I don't know what specifically set it off. But it bothered me.
