Mehso-so

I really wanted to love this one, but it was SUCH a chore to get through. I think this would have worked better for me in print, as I really needed to access the character list often and I disliked the author‘s narration. Billed as Medusa‘s story, Medusa is only a minor character in this telling of the Greek Gods & Goddesses. I was surprisingly bored and out of sorts. Disappointing #WomensPrize23LongList #52Books23 #GreekMythology

Librarybelle That‘s a shame! It does sound print is more accessible for this one. 2y
LeeRHarry I‘ve nearly finished it in print and I think it‘ll get a soft pick from me. 2y

Cinfhen That‘s disappointing @LeeRHarry I really liked this one by the author 2y
LeeRHarry @Cinfhen yes I enjoyed that one too. 2y
KatieB I‘m reading this one currently and I constantly need to refer to the character list. I can see how the audio would be a struggle 2y
Cinfhen @KatieB I usually love the Greek mythology tales but I was really lost without the character list!! Hope you‘re enjoying the book 😁 2y

#WomensPrize23LongList I didn‘t love this book as much as @Cortg but it was a solid debut. My disappointment was with stylistic choices - mostly the nonlinear time jumps from multiple characters #POV, which were not easy to distinguish between. I did enjoy the audio narration. A story featuring 3 generations of southern black women with a strong bond of sisterhood.

TrishB I really liked this one 👍🏻 2y
