How Saeter Robbed the Underworld by Meredith Katz
3.0
The mythological tale at the center of this is great, and I would recommend it for anyone who likes the myths + m/m combo. I was fascinated with these stories as a kid, and this one captured that feeling perfectly, including the relevant lesson to impart.
I enjoyed it, and the writing is fantastic. Saeter's emotional headspace was so vivid and truly gut-wrenching in the moment. I felt for him deeply and wanted to make it all better for him. I look forward to trying more from this author for sure.
But this is a shortie, and I think I wanted just a tiny bit more. Just a tiny bit! But then I re-read the intro just now and thought hmmmm.... maybe I already got more... :)
It's really impressive when something so short can capture your imagination to the point you want to revisit it to comb through the details! Plus I liked that there were little hints dropped here and there that had me playing along trying to predict what was going to happen, both in the central tale being told and with the characters in the surrounding framework. I think a few more sentences exchanged between the dads at the end could have made this perfect for me, but it's a truly lovely tale as is.
