I'm well aware of the fact that without the fun stylistic typography and interesting illustrations, I probably would've given this book 4 stars at best. I know a lot of readers are anti-style-over-substance, but sometimes, the style uplifts the substance to a whole new level -- this was one of those books. This is the sort kind of myth retelling I ever want to read.
