Rachel (TheShadesofOrange)'s Reviews > House of Odysseus

3.0 Stars
This novel continues the story of Odysseus and Penelope that started in the first book. This trilogy is undoubtedly intended for readers who love the greek mythology. I like and appreciate the tales but I can't say it's a personal fascination. I mention this because other readers will likely love this one more than me.

I enjoyed the first book a fair bit so I was excited to continue on. However I didn't love this book as much as the first. The narrative felt more drawn out with plot pacing that often stood still. For other readers, they might just be happy to spend that time with the characters but I personally wanted more.

I still plan to continue on to the third and final book which I hope will work better for me. This one just suffered too much from "middle-book-syndrome". If you are interested in this series, I recommend going back to the beginning with Ithaca.

Disclaimer I received a copy of this book from the publisher.
