A solid read overall. My local library had this on a 'books written in verse' featured shelf, and reading the description along with the first page had me hooked. I'm very into mythology, and this seemed like quite a fun play on the tale of Theseus and the Minotaur. I'm currently in a lapse in my other book, so this was a very welcomed change in writing. I love how this was written, and typically I'm not a fan of poems. However, the author did a solid job of conveying his interpretation of how Asterion felt and progressed through his ordeal. I love that the pages got darker the further and further we got into this tale. You could feel the sadness in Asterion the further you went. Solid job all around! I love how witty Poseidon was portrayed to be. If you need a quick read, with a retelling of a classic, and a dash of some humor, well then this is your book!
