A review by jamelchior
Mistress of Mistresses by E.R. Eddison

2.0

I loved The Worm Ourobouros but couldn’t engage with this one. It seems to be a meditation on Aphrodite but it’s too misty to get hold of. The women all seem to be shape-shifters. One star for an interesting protagonist though we never really get inside his skin to know what he’s thinking or whose side he is on. Another star for the gorgeous prose, best read slowly, don’t even try to skim this book.
