Madeline Miller’s writing is beautiful as ever, but I do think this book suffered in lacking major conflict. Without much conflict, there wasn’t much plot to be had. Of course, that is the nature of trying to capture immortality. I do think that the way Miller writes gods is distinct and right on the nose.
