After loving Galatea and being blown away how someone managed to give so much with so little, i was excited to see what this little story could offer. 

I can't say i enjoyed this too much. 

It is very much a greek mythology story in the sense that its very male focused and similar to her other writings in the way that it does have a darker tone and an ending that wraps it up but also leaves it open at the same time. (If you haven't read anything by Miller before she just has this way of ending stories that make sense but also at the same time leave me always thinking "Wait... thats it? But i still have all those questions!")

Its not a  bad little story, but to me its the weakest of her works i read so far and tells the least of it all. 

And maybe i am just a little disappointed because Galatea has become a bit of a comfort story for me in the sense that if i have no idea what to read but i want to read something... i go to that story and it just works for me. 

So maybe even though i didn't go into this story expecting anything, maybe i did go into it expecting something similarly "wow-ing" in the sense that i will be blown away, in all the ways. 

Instead i just got a story that is well written but overall nothing that couldn't also be found very similarly elsewhere within the Greek mythologies or re-telling of those.
