Having previous listened to Pandora's Jar on audiobook (and loving it), I had a very strong feeling I was going to enjoy Divine Might via audiobook as well - and I was correct. Haynes has a way about her storytelling that makes you feel like you are there with her and the Goddesses as she recounts their tales. I am admittedly no expert in Greek Mythology, other than the big ones (mostly revolving around the men..) so I always appreciate a female-centered focus. While I loved the analysis of each Goddess Haynes chose to examine, I felt especially connected to Demeter and have found a new appreciation for her strength, determination, and brutality in her quest to get her daughter back from the clutches of Hades. 

<blockquote>"We don't need them [jokes] when times are going well...The jokes which reach us when we are at the bottom of a dark pit, the ones that make us give a reluctant half-smile at the absurdity of it all, even as we're struggling to climb back up to normality - those are the ones we need."</blockquote>

The only thing that I found disappointing was the end of the book - it felt very abrupt moving straight from the Furies to the acknowledgements. I would have loved a mini-chapter to wrap everything up. But overall, another exceptional book by Haynes.
