jseger9000 Another Fred Saberhagen fantasy novel based on Greek mythology

Member Reviews
This wasn’t my favorite Saberhagen book, by any means, but it was all right. It was a bit racier than his normal writing, but when you get in to Greek Mythology I guess you have to be that way. Anyway, the biggest disappointment was the ending, it came too quickly and ended too abruptly.
Oh, Fred Saberhagen, you and your mythology. Slightly tiresome.
