Gripping story

I enjoyed this book very much! I do agree that the storyline deserves more narrators. I found myself needing to follow along with the book to clarify which character we were on.

Love Gilgamesh

The Epic of Gilgamesh is my all-time favorite story of love, adventure, and history. I was skeptical of this trilogy at first because of my own beliefs about this time period. However, I was also fascinated and super curious about this retelling. I really enjoyed this second book! After the author’s explanation that she does add her own narration to fill in gaps, it allowed me to read this as a fictional read and new perspective. With that in mind, I thoroughly enjoyed it! It made me think about characters in a new way- such as Anzu, as well as how the life of Enlil unfolded for him. I just finished it, but already am looking forward to reading it again to pick up anything I may have overlooked.
