I enjoyed this volume of the tale of Herakles. The use of a modern, very casual voice in the telling is refreshing, but it does take a moment to adjust. At first it feels as if it is lazy writing, but as you turn the pages and delve into the story and the personas presented, you realize it is a modern telling with classic references. This is not the high fantasy that so often portrays perfect men and women and implacable heroes, this is closer to low fantasy. There is a dirt nature soaked into the tale, and that is refreshing. HERAKLES BOOK 2 is a solid and unique entry into the pantheon of Greek tales. Pick it up for the art, stay for the story. Read Full Review
