[Ming's fantasy myth library · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.75/5 stars

Although not much happened in this Greek Myth retelling novella, but I enjoyed it so much. It's a nostalgic read with familiar characters. I have read this story in many version, and now this version is more like humanize the god characters and make some gods more likeable. However because it is so short, not much of the personality side
