A short story collection about love with mythology characters as the main leads.

Rating: ★★★

Okay this is a solid three-star book. I am sorry I could not give it more. The first few stories were THE BOMB. I drank it all up. But as we progressed towards the latter stories, some of the magic got lost along the way.

I especially loved how different writing styles were explored in this collection. There is a nice variety to it. And did someone say I need to see love in different forms? This book literally said "SAY NO MORE."

My favorites has to be:
Scheherazade
Attem
THISBE (this is god tier)

I'd definitely recommend this to people who are fans of mythology and or beginners in reading short story collections.
