Disliked

the pacing and the plotting and the tone is what i'm saying was all over the place because it started off as this very like novella kind of throwaway very short encounter but then it all of a sudden delved into like these very deep topics in like the last two maybe not even 20 pages

Mixed

in terms of like a piece of scholarship it's just it's very all conjecturey and like of course it's going to be but it just felt a lot of this felt very shaky but in terms of giving good historical context presenting the facts that was all i really needed

Loved

i just really like this i highly recommend i think this is a great place to start if you are trying to get into the classics classical studies or ancient greece i think this was really fun and i'm really glad i read it

Disliked

for me it was just not enjoyable to read a book where i had no idea what was going on coupled with a writing style that was incredibly repetitive as well as the plot itself that was very repetitive

Loved

it was just so fun adventurous there were a lot of really little like clever twists in here regarding characters and beasts and stuff and just learning about the world and all i can say it was just fun it was just a delight i love this
