⭐⭐⭐ 3.75/5

The perfect adventure for my "staycation", something fun and easy!

Listened on audio, narrated by the author. I always enjoy listening to these retelling of women in Greek mythology. I always love how sometimes as Haynes is reading she sounds like an exhausted woman, like seriously why are we still having to fight these fights…like a majority of women do. I love the authors perspective (my 10 year old would love them too but she needs to get a little older, she loves mythology & definitely want her to gain a more

Think you know the truth about the legend of Medusa, the famed Gorgon who turned men to stone with one look? Think again. Tired of being misrepresented for centuries, this is Medusa's story from the woman herself.

I really liked this one, I felt the author did a really nice job on illuminating the human side of Medusa's story rather than the monster of the usual tales. (continued)

Divine Might by Natalie Haynes 🎧 read by the author.
Enjoyed this book tremendously, a deep look into Greek goddesses that walked the world so long ago, yet sometimes I wonder if they‘re still here. Who they were in myth, literature, pop culture. I only wish my audio book projected pictures of all the artwork. 😅

Greek mythology-based tale with lots of liberties taken. The author is changing the story, but not enough to make it interesting…just annoyingly bland/OK. If you are looking for something cool or satisfying or engaging or sexy or emotional, look elsewhere. But if you want bland boring mashed potatoes, this is the one! And the characters have no dimension or growth, just so blah! A fast but not fulfilling read.

The last few years have been full of wonderful mythology retellings. Here are three I loved with the tagged being a 5 🌟 read!

Just a few of my favorites. 🩵💙🩵

Ariadne‘s story was one of the first Greek myths I remember learning about in grade school. This book takes it to another level. #sundayfunday

I saw Hadestown last night. Did I know what was coming? Yes. Did I still cry? Also yes.

This is one of my favorite Greek retellings right now. I love the sub genre of these stories taking the supposed villains, especially the women, and telling their sides.
