Just finished the hymn to dionysius and I have to say, not really like any of her other books. But whoever said phaidros is inexplicably british - he is. I liked this book a lot, which probably doesn't convey the magnitude of feelings it's made me feel.

#Very vague very general spoiler-y observations up ahead #I just HAVE to say I thought the age gap would be larger. The summary made it seem like it would be larger #Other thing is this book feels so much more introspective and character-focused (especially on phaidros #but he is the mc) than her other books #I haven't reread any of her books in a while but I remember for example thlovk being more centered on the plot #Meanwhile the mars house and tbs felt more like an even split between the plot and the relationships and/or characters #Maybe this one feels so driven by the characters because it's in first person? I can't remember if any of her other books were first person #But when the summary said “a man needing a god to remind him how to be human” it wasn't kidding #I also only caught one instance where the copy editors missed something and it was just two words switched around #Also is it just me or is the paper oddly thick?#Anyway that's it for now. I want to see what other people think #the hymn to dionysus #natasha pulley #pulleyverse
