🌟 I have been provided en ebook of this collection of short stories in exchange of an honest review!

🌟 I was not sure if I wanted to read this at first, I am not the biggest fan of short stories collections but when I knew that it involves mythology, I decided to read it immediately!

🌟 I feel like there were 2 halves: a good one (3 stars) and an even better one (4 stars). I really enjoyed the stories from “Gods and Monsters” onward. I think the stories were easy to get into and the writing was smooth, I was not confused which sometimes happen in short stories.

🌟 I also knew the author was trying to bring something and to deliver an idea with each story, I felt this was more well done in the second half while the first half I did not get the point at the end of some stories, I think some of them were rushed and could have used more pages and better endings.

🌟 Summary: I did not go into each story individually because I think it is better to discover them by yourselves. I believe the book had good writing and some good ideas but I could not connect to some of these stories. If you like mythology and weird stuff and you are a fan of short stories then I think you can give this one a try!
