veecaswell 's review for:
Queer Heroes of Myth and Legend
by Dan Jones
Intrigued by the title, I was curious as to who would be included in this book and I was surprised happy by a few of the inclusions in this book as we delve into queer myths and legends.
I think the terms myths and legends are pushed to the limits in this book, but what limits they are as we cover a range of LGBT stories that highlight pop culture moments but also ancient gods that really open your eyes to historical LGBT people which is never a bad thing - normalising that gay relationships have been around for centuries is incredibly important.
I do kinda like the tone of the writing, granted the use of daddy feels alot in this book but honestly, I do get that considering the circumstances, I mean how else can you describe some of these men to be honest but it is a fun read with a serious topic that handles the subject incredibly well.
A quick and interesting read, it has made me want to know more about so much that's mentioned in this book!
