A review by redsaint
The Golden Ass by Apuleius

4.0

This classic reads like a modern day novel. It has funny moments as well as deeply affective and poignant moments. I thoroughly enjoyed the unexpected turns of Lucius’ journey through this marvellous tale. What a rare treat to be able to enjoy something that has entertained for thousands of years! Feels like a proto-fantasy read despite the gap between late antiquity and the genre as it is today. Highly recommend for Classicists and Fantasy lovers alike.
