Do you love mythology? Do you wish you could see the true side of the Gods? This retelling was hilarious, full of snarky personalities with a down to the bone rawness that I love.
Milana's Review
Although the book was written in poetic language I connected more with the characters than I have with some full novels. Poseidon reminded me of this foul mouthed gangster who gets a kick out of messing with others. He made me laugh from page one and I completely felt his power. In contrast, the "minotaur" made me connect on a completely different level. He was soft and weak but you couldn't help but instantly forge a bond with him.
**I would like to thank Raincoast for sending a copy of this one!**
