"Man, this intro feels like a slog. The author of this part keeps bringing up seemingly VERY important story feats and is expecting me to understand. I get the concepts he’s bringing up, but I’m still confused as to why this is an “intro”? This sounds like more of a recap. I’m ready to read the actual story. I’m getting tired of this guy explaining it before I even have the chance to read it myself." — May 31, 2026 11:02PM

"During the intro, I was worried I wouldn’t be getting the experience I was looking for. There was some preamble, and considering that (in a way) I’m still learning how to read, it was intimidating. However, once we started getting into the story of Demeter, that worry faded. I was able to follow the book much better, and find a flow. Dionysus’ story is all about nuance; the good and bad of the god of wine." — May 31, 2026 11:07AM
