DNF. Very clearly a pre-teen level plagiarized work where any common words that might "get them caught" are replaced with a corresponding synonym from a thesaurus. Everything in here may be established mythology but it's all nonsense because of the word-swapping. I can only assume all of the other books by this author are also plagiarized hack jobs.
A few memorable examples among MANY: Hecate is referred to as the Goddess of "where two roads meet" a dozen times instead of Goddess of the Crossroads. Anywhere you would typically refer to a god/goddess as another's mother/father, the "author" instead uses the words mom/dad, which is juvenile and jarring in the context. The same for anywhere the word dog or hound would be, they use the word "pooch." Or the best of the lot, when referring to someone's right arm or leg, they instead replaced 'right' with 'correct'. Like, 'Apollo held a lyre in his correct arm.'
Full of information - a superbly organized resource! Though there is unnecessarily convoluted sentence structure throughout. In the audiobook version, the narrator sounds so nerdy and monotone.
