5/30/2023 0 Comments Hades by George O'Connor![]() ![]() But I needn't have worried - there's no spin! I mean, that's not to say there's no interpretation, or picking and choosing which aspects of which tales to highlight, because of course there is. I mean, Kendare Blake's Antigoddess is fabulous, but it's hardly a traditional retelling same: Percy Jackson same: everything else out there. ![]() Though I know it's a retelling of Greek myths, I wasn't sure what kind of retelling it'd be so though I'm very familiar with Greek mythology, that's not to say that I'd be familiar with O'Connor's spin. Now, the reason for this (beyond said amazeballs), I'd imagine, is that I expressed a little trepidation at jumping into the series at book 7. And yes, I still said amazeballs in 2015. I mentioned in a book haul not long ago that I was asked to be part of the blog tour for the next installment in George O'Connor's Olympians series, Ares, and that when I said yes (yay, mythology!), the fine folks at FirstSecond not only sent me that book, but the entire boxed set - further cementing that they are amazeballs. ![]() This review is for ALL of the Olympians books, essentially. ![]() This is from my blog, and may not make total sense in the context of Goodreads, but it's late and I don't want to type a new review. ![]()
