A Pomegranate and the Maiden

A Pomegranate and the Maiden | Tamara Agha-Jaffar

so-so

Young Kore is the daughter of the Goddess Demeter and Zeus, King of the Olympian Gods. She‘s a typical outdoorsy girl. Then Hades, God of The Underworld, spies her and falls madly in love. This debut novel from an academic features first-person narratives from 20 (!!) characters. A valiant effort, it also a very frustrating book.

2.5 stars—between a pan and a so-so.

A Pomegranate and the Maiden | Tamara Agha-Jaffar

Starting up this audiobook today. Narrated by the author, which gives me pause. But the mythological underpinnings are right up my alley. #bookblogging #newrelease

AceOnRoam I just read your review. I am friends with this author on GR as we are both in a group for historical fiction 😊 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @AceOnRoam She seems like a nice lady. I wish I‘d loved the book more. 6y

AceOnRoam I know, I am a bit hesitant to read it in case I don't like, or in my case, may not understand the mythology 😟 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @AceOnRoam The mythology part isn‘t all that complex. It‘s kind of an age-old story, translated into the realm of Gods and humans. Either way, I find it hard to review my friends‘ work. 6y

AceOnRoam Agreed, I recently did another GR friend review and it was very difficult. 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @AceOnRoam Thankfully, I‘m one step removed. But it‘s still hard because I know how much they mean to an author. I really try to include some encouraging words when I‘ve written a difficult review. 6y

AceOnRoam Yes, same here, especially if they are so nice!!! I thought you wrote a great honest review here anyway, so well done. 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @AceOnRoam Thanks, I really appreciate that. 😎 6y
