Hot take, but I feel this book is a bit overrated. I had heard that people sobbed over the pages and that got me so excited. But alas, I did not feel so deeply for our heroes. Honestly I felt more for Thetis and her character development. I wonder what that says about me as a reader? I guess I was left unfulfilled because I wanted more from their reunion. 2 1/2 stars for making me feel depressed.

Now, I've not read the Odyssey since middle school probably. But one of my friends shared with me this EP called Epic: Official Concept Album and I couldn't fly to my bookshelf fast enough after listening to it. I hadn't remembered the story was so emotional and sad. I suppose looking at this classic through the lens of one who has grieved is different than a kid trying to pass their midterm English exam. Anyway, refreshing myself with Homer's epic was everything I wanted. An adventure that will reside in my head forever, rent free.
