As a lover of both Greek mythology and classical literature, I do find this book most appealing. Its musical and poetic form is a plus to the charm of this book. I'll certainly check this one out.
Lovely review.

I'm always interested in Greek history, mythology or otherwise, particularly that 'perfect balance of contradictory powers in nature'. I'm impressed; it's not often that anyone points this out as a motive force in nature.

I’m not a fan of classical literature especially those centered around Greek mythology. However, the author’s ability to explain them through poem made me interested in reading this book. Amazing review.

I do enjoy reading Greek mythology sometimes, but I'm not quite sure how if I'd enjoy them as poetry. It'd be worth a peek. Thanks for the review.

This book takes the reader to the classic myth of Orpheus and his enchanting musical prowess. It tells Orpheus’ adventures using poetry, which sounds fascinating. Fans of Greek mythology and poetry should pick up this book.

Your review showed me that the book contains strong terms that require referring to the dictionary from, and you also dealt with the technical side of the book, which is a good thing.

The myth of Orpheus has always intrigued me. Out of all the Ancient Greek myths, it had a certain melancholic atmosphere which made it a very captivating story. Using poetry as a way to explain and tell this classic was one of the most creative take I've ever read. Congrats on BOTD!
