right so. grendel is kind of an asshole? but, in a moral sense. i think it’s funny that it reads sort of like a parody. he prides himself on being a dick which, is sort of refreshing.

i have mixed feelings about this book because, i respect a re-telling and a different POV, especially so many years later. but it was all over the place in my opinion. sort of easy to read but annoying to follow. i feel bad for grendel at the start, but at the end im glad he dies.

a very interesting perspective. it provides backstory on this previously known to be evil and villainous character, maybe giving insight on why he was like that in the first place. so far, it’s been more interesting to read because its prose, unlike the original poem. no shade to the og, but reading a story is much easier to engage.
