Thank you NetGalley for this wonderful ARC
Greek Mythology: Gods of Mount Olympus is a vivid and accessible dive into the world of ancient Greece, where legends of Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, and others still echo through time. The book offers a clear yet engaging retelling of each god’s origins, powers, and myths while also weaving in their cultural and historical significance. What I really appreciated was how it managed to balance storytelling with educational value—making it easy to read but also incredibly informative. I enjoyed how it gave me a deeper understanding of myths I thought I already knew, while also introducing me to lesser-told details that kept me turning the pages.
⚡Holy ambrosia, Batman—this book was a blast! I felt like I was right up on Mount Olympus, sipping nectar with the gods while eavesdropping on their juicy drama. The stories aren’t just dusty old myths—they’re alive, fiery, and dripping with all the power plays, betrayals, and love triangles you’d expect from the original soap opera of the sky. I loved every second of it and honestly, if you don’t dive in, you’re missing out on some divine-level entertainment. 🏛️🔥
