5.0 out of 5 stars
Pretty great,

This review is from: Starfall (Hardcover)
I keep looking for more books like Rosemary Sutcliff's "Black Ships Before Troy" or "The Wanderings of Odysseus" -- in other words, really good fiction based on old myths and legends and epics.This book does a good job with Phaeton's story, creating a memorable story with good characters. Unsurprisingly, my favorite characters are Mercury and Apollo -- Michael Cadnum does a great job with their godlike qualities. I'm a mom of boys, and the story lingers a bit too long on the sexual relationship between Clymene and Apollo for me to be comfortable having a 1st or 2nd grader reading it -- fine for older kids, though. |
