A review by allriane
Ilium by Dan Simmons

9/28/20 Read through #2
Apparently I gave this 4 stars the first time I read it. I’m downgrading it to 3 stars this time around because I’ve raised my standards since then. Also WHY didn’t I write any kind of review last time?! I guess I thought I’d never read it again but I should have left a warning for myself. Like on the one hand it’s brilliant, it’s amazing, it’s funny, and Simmons is just such a NERD. On the other hand, he clearly suffers from a serious case of being a White Man(TM) and I’m so tired of the nonsense. Maybe dial back the misogyny because I am not in the mood to put up with it. At least I got to read my least favorite character getting eaten by a dinosaur again. If only he had stayed dead.
