Metamorphica weaves a gorgeous tapestry of Ovid's well-known tragic subjects, all while creatively and cleverly reimagining their stories. Mason's words are light and atmospheric, poetically depicting the beauty and the horror of these ancient myths. His style is consistent but his voice is not overbearing, as he allows each character to tell their own tale through first person perspective. The length and tone of each story varied, but I was immersed by them all, and look forward to reading more of Mason's work.
