  1. Yep, I thought merging mythology with historical fiction was an interesting concept, but it wasn’t for me, either. And I really did not care for the footnotes. I tried to lighten it up by comprising the following Haiku Review:

    If Odysseus
    Played an elaborate game
    Of telephone, right

  2. This one sounds like it wouldn’t do much for me either. I feel woefully ignorant of Greek myths but not terribly interested in reading about them, really. The chocolate sounds yummy!

  3. If you have to add footnotes so people understand your story, you’re doing it wrong. Even someone who doesn’t know the original story should get something from it. If someone’s doing a retelling of a story, they should be adding something to it so that people who are familiar with the original get something more out of it (cool extra layers), but people who don’t know the original still can read the new version.

  5. I’d be another reader uninterested in this story. Also not a big fan of mythology. I just could never get into it.
