Hubby‘s current read...I could probably benefit from reading this one @jenniferw88 @squirrelbrain @TrishB @KarenUK Since my knowledge about Britain is total rubbish 😝although I do know where all the best bookshops are, thanks to my lovely friends XX

I really enjoyed this but I can‘t think of anyone else to recommend it to! It‘s a clash of a fantasy world with a contemporary one, written in a literary style. Perhaps if you liked Lev Grossman‘s The Magicians but wanted it to be less like Hogwarts and more Cormoran Strike?
Anyway, Knox does a fabulous job of imagining the other world; the gods and fairy folk and the way their magic works is deftly woven and enchanting. ⬇️

Halfway through this chunkster - although as it‘s an epic poem the book size is deceiving - there‘s not as many words per page as a novel. You‘ve done me a favour Ovid, I appreciate how quickly and simply you tell each myth, but my lord there is a lot of rape and violence in Greek mythology. 😬 Still I‘m hoping I‘ll remember more of my minor gods and goddesses after this 🤞
