Thank you for your wonderful review. I am so glad you enjoyed the book. While I do enjoy some poetry, I just didn't enjoy this one or the rhythm of it. Perhaps I wasn't reading it correct. I'm sure there are many others, like you, who will thoroughly enjoy it. For me, I'll be passing on this one.

This classical literature poetry sounds interesting and the fantasy makes it even better. I don't mind searching for words I don't understand. Thanks for the amazing review.

I am a lover of greek mythology and I have read the story of Orpheus and his wife.I would love to know how the author will give an appropriate and happy ending to their love story.This book is unique because of the employment of poems which makes it the more challenging to read.Congrats BOTD!

Greek mythology has always been my thing thanks to Percy Jackson. It'll be a breath of fresh air to read something in verse that discuss stories I truly adore.

Grandeurs !!

My soul was lifted high into the heavens as I felt the dept of this lovely book. I picked one of the sentences and immediately, I composed a song with it.
My love for Greek mythology is unexplainable.

I really love this book and I rate it a full star. I wish this generation could learn and read about this book. Bravo to the author.

I've heard a lot about Greek mythology but never tried one. Your spectacular description about the poetry, themes and language of the book interests me.
