Mmrgh this book brought up the “Irish goddess Brigit,” who has no proof as to ever existing, aside from the name “Brigit” being used a few times in the mythological texts

Well Vampires being a kind of like pan-mythological entity, they kinda have whatever weakness the culture they came from needed them to have to feel safe from the threats they represented.

I mean. Yeah, if we're talking mythological creatures, dragon is top tier If we're talking creatures currently walking the earth, though, I'm going for cat life

I'm ready for it, and I wish that there were more — even competing schools of thought on it. It's pretty clear to me that John Wick works best as something semi-mythological or fantasy.

Adolph Gottlieb (1903–1974) was a prominent American painter and member of the first generation of Abstract Expressionists. Characterized by an idiosyncratic use of abstraction that utilized pictographs and mythological symbols, his works achieved an emotional intensity through both color and line.

My full honest review!

Thank you Sariah Wilson and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review! This is a book that started kind of almost average. The characters were compelling, the protagonist ferally appealing, but the romance, despite the palpable chemistry and delicious make-out descriptions, wasn't really pulling me in, mostly because it was very, very much instalove. But despite it being instalove, it's also still very much enemies-to-lovers. It's complicated to try and explain it without spoilers but don't be fooled: this IS an enemies-to-lovers story, and we can expect the "enemies" part to be even more overt next book, which promises to be even better than this first installment. So if you're planning on DNF'ing it because it's not delivering on the enemies part, please hold on a little bit longer because I promise you it's worth the wait! Without spoilers, what I can say is that this is a thrilling book, hard to put down, a clear deliberate hook at basically every chapter's end.
It also has incredible action scenes, well described and meticulously strategized, that could make up some astounding choreography in an adaptation. Pretty much no character is neglected, there are reasons to care about and love or even hate any of them even if they're not a party of the main romance. It's also rich to the brim with mythological references, especially Greek, so if you're into that stuff, you're in for a feast! There are also references to Reylo and its fandom history, which is very much a plus (it's not, however, a necessity to be terminally online to understand the plot, which is great. But it's a treat that it's there. What can I say? I'm a terminally online Reylo who loves the Reylo world domination). It's a powerful story of female empowerment and sisterhood (an actual found family! actually done right! and it doesn't have to preclude romance! what a concept!) without being preachy or feeling anachronistic or misplaced.
And you can clearly see the nod to Maureen Murdock's Heroine Journey too. It could be a very cogent tale of xenophobia as well, but it's kind of undermined by the fact that it falls into the "bigotry for a reason" trope. It makes sense given the inspirations of the book, but still. The ending though, my dears. THE ENDING. It's one of the best cliffhangers I've ever seen and it sealed the book as having a 5 star rating for me. Part of it I predicted, but the core of it I didn't, and it promised WORLDS AND UNIVERSES for the next installment. I'm genuinely expecting the second book to be on a whole other league now, and I can't wait for it! Also... Are we sure this is Wilson's first fantasy? It seems she's only done romcoms so far? It doesn't even feel like it! She nailed the genre!
