I found your review to be remarkable. I say that because your wording and the emotion that your review gave off were as those in the portion of the book I read. A small portion but none the less I walked away feeling the same as I did when I read your review. Thank you very lovely.

Greek mythology and poetry are a great mix. A character who can even charm stones definitely intrigues me. Thank you for the interesting review.

I don't mind the absence of glossary. And I'm glad to know that there are poems written in other languages in this book followed by their English translation so no one would have to look it up on Google.

Although I don't completely understand a poetry book, but I'm quite excited because it combines with Greek mythology. And according to this review this poetry book isn't really boring. With a "roller coaster" emotion, I think the author wanted to describe the true life. Thank you for your wonderful review.

Honestly, this sounds like a science fiction novel. But the author crafted a more beautiful work by merging this with poetry. I would surely love to read the character of Orpheus.

The author uses poetry to bring us back to the classical age. The concept he uses is uniquely great. I'll add it to my shelf and read it in my spare time. Congratulations on winning the BOTD!

I love Greek mythology and, oddly enough, have had Orpheus in my mind lately. Seems fortuitous that a book like this would come up as the book of the day. I’m most used to epic poetry being associated with Greek mythology, which typically uses dactylic hexameter, so this book using sonnets, as the title suggests, intrigued me. It should create a different feel. Thank you for the helpful review.

In the Land of Myth takes readers back to Greek Mythology. I have always wondered how the Greek gods were created and how the creators enticed the people to believe in them. Much of the Greek mythology was communicated via poems that most people read while in high school. An interesting read and a very good review.
