Thank you for introducing this fascinating read!:balloon: :gift:
In short, different cultures influenced each other, and that concerned mythologies as well. Thank you for your appreciation!
Ciao :)

Different cultures view fierce creatures, as ones that can cause some negative effects to the societies, and yet those creatures exists naturally.
Thanks for the good review.

Thanks for the good review.
There can be a mix of negative and positive features in mythical creatures, depending on various factors. The book addresses this topic as well. Thank you for your appreciation!

I've been looking at reading this series for a while. I've been trying to fully decipher the concept of the books: real myths and legends or those found only in books of pure fiction. Your review clears that up. I prefer to study and learn real myths and legends rather than the ones made up for a particle book or series. I'm now looking forward to reading this series. Thank you so much!

Great Review:handgestures-thumbupright:
Imagine if we had no secrets, no respite from the truth. What if everything was laid bare the moment, we introduced ourselves?
