Easy Listen. Interesting. Story telling. Loved it.

I loved that it was story telling without getting too wordy or detailed. Good read.

Boring Narator Amazing Stories and info

I really loved the information between stories and have been a Greek myth fan forever. However, the narator was practically dead pan. there was no passion. Almost no dynamics to the way she told the stories. It really effected my enjoyment. Greek Mythology deserves a passionate dynamic reading. Someone to get you excited and invested in the characters. Not a voice like an over worked public school teacher whose lost their will and passion to teach, because that's what this felt like.

Brilliantly poetic

I love the way this author is so poetic. She tells familiar stories in a way that is interesting, not too graphic, even though some of the stories can’t be when told by other people, and just beautifully written. I will be reading this again.

Vibrantly Poetic & True to the Originals

If you love Greek Mythology or are intrigued by it, this is the place for you! The author and the narrator team up for a whirlwind experience of vibrant poetic descriptions as well as a calm retelling true to the original stories. Not a single moment is boring nor is a scene left undescribed! Any age range can enjoy these tales as well as comprehend their complexity. This novel was orderly and easy to follow along; definitely deserving of a 10/10! :)

so inconsistent

I get the want to modernize stories of the past but to do so inaccurately not only takes away from the stories but insults the culture and heritage the stories come from. the inaccurate stories makes me question the information give in between them.

Simple but good

The narration was a little dry but the stories are a good starting point for anyone unfamiliar.
