Welcome to Litsy!

After discussing with son--romanticy that discusses trauma but the author isn't skilled enough of a writer for the story. The story was really interesting the premise held a lot of promise but it just fell flat. 3 stars as I definitely will not reread. The author was very inventive and if she had only had a better copyrighter or editor she could have fleshed out the story. It needed more polishing. Creative, inventive and interesting premise.

Finished this book. Unsure how I feel about it. There were parts that were problematic and I am not sure the writing was good. The story itself was interesting but some characters were very one dimensional [and there were only 6]. I think the story deserved a better writer TBH. YA Queer representation... definitely sapphic but also the minute she sees prince's bare chest she thinks he should be put on pedestal and worshipped. Bi Poly Rep?

My son picked this one for our next read along. I gave him my book box special edition as I preferred standard UK cover. There was much hullabaloo about the title and this article on source materials pretty much sums up my thoughts: https://theconversation.com/to-read-or-not-to-read-is-that-the-question-185393

I always seem to start my book club read the 3rd week of the month so I can remember everything to discuss with our group. #whimsicalreads
I really like it so far! I love getting three points of views and the atmosphere is perfect.

I struggle a little to review this one. This was a Greek myth I wasn't familiar with so I'm not sure if it's just one I'm not interested in (I tend not to care for the stories around Ithaca) or if the story was just slow and boring. Considering how many great authors have tackled Greek myths, this one doesn't quite compete. The writing is too simple, and I didn't care for any of the characters. #whimsicalreads #readyourtbr

"I should like to go farther, out onto the seas that are as yet uncharted, to find the islands that are always shrouded in mists, the ones that you cannot find unless you know where you are going."

This book is exactly what I needed; poeticism and greek mythology. ???

This definitely had a slower pace than I was led to believe from the blurb, but overall it was really quite beautiful. Perfect for mythology lovers who want a more philosophical read.
