Dear lord this is the worst book I’ve read in two years. 

If you’re ever worried about being published, don’t be. This book should be a shining ray of hope for aspiring writers. Well, writers might be too generous. Semi conscious beings might be more accurate

Speaking of accurate, the use of mythological figures reminds me less of actual mythology and more of a bad game of telephone after watching the Disney movie.
