For someone who is not a lover or huge fanatic of this era or Greek mythology in general, I still found the book very entertaining. Don't get me wrong, I do find it interesting but it is not something I seek intentionally. I think a big factor of that is the treatment of humans during this era, especially women and children 🤷🏻‍♀️ However, I definitely understand the hype over this book and it is well deserved!

Ｌｉｋｅｓ: fast paced, action packed, vivid imagery, the writing!

Ｄｉｓｌｉｋｅｓ: my overall mood reading this: melancholic
