pickListen to me,” Clytemnestra says. “Gods do not care about us. They have other concerns. That is why you should never live in the shadow of their anger. It is men you must fear. It is men who will be angry with you if you rise too high, if you are too much loved. The stronger you are, the more they will try to take you down.”

so-soI loved Pandora‘s Jar, so I was really excited for this one but I struggled with it a bit. I don‘t know if it was the book itself or me/the timing (this past week 😵💫). I‘ll definitely still be looking for her books in the future.

pickI‘m sad this trilogy is over. I loved North‘s reimagining of the Odyssey. I loved that this book extends beyond the end of the Odyssey as well.
The characters were great too. Leartes was hilarious. I love that his signature move is to try to chop the other swordsman‘s fingers off 🤣 Absolutely perfect for the father of Odysseus…
I've decided to stop reading this genre. I find it too damn depressing. Nicely written but not for me.

pickRead this last week. I‘m not sure if these are getting better or worse… This one a lot and nothing both happened. This one was more about the relationships, which is fine. But I feel like they‘re really dragging out the political situation. I mean, I‘ll keep reading them but meh.

pickOne of my favorite classic stories. This book did a great job portraying.
pickDelightful!
pickThis is a retelling of Medusa‘s myth. I picked up this one because it was giving Madeline Miller vibes. I did like it—it was humorous, it did interesting interpretations with the Greek characters and gods, and a lot of the chapters were short which made it easy to get through. The plot did feel a little more sparse and didn‘t always have a clear center, so it wasn‘t the level of Miller for me, but I did still like it!
