Her style is a bit unclear to me because I’m used to science so I can be frustrated and confused of wether that’s what others think, how she interprets what they think or what she argues they think. Therefore, I was unclear as to what is presentation, interpretation or argument.
I find the myth part difficult because she doesn’t exposes well what those authors wrote and why she selected them to be analysed so it reads like speculative interpretation at times.

It is philosophy so it was boring at times because the style and subjects demands to study it rather than read it. Her style is philosophical and academic, made of lengthy descriptions and reflections. She uses extremely long sentences, separated by colons and semi-colons with nuances brought upon nuances.
That said.. I loved her sass and she makes excellent points and arguments.
