The only real reason why I picked up this as an audiobook was because of Alan Rickman narrating this audiobook. I would absolutely listen to anything Alan Rickman reads as his voice is super soothing for me. I had already read this book for one of my Literature classes in University and thought it was okay both in audiobook form and in physical form. The prose is very long and descriptive. I normally don't mind if it's a science fiction book that's heavy on the world building, but as a more classical book, I'm not too overly fond of the use of the prose and kind of bored me a little bit too much.

While slightly entertaining to listen to, it felt a little dry, even when listening to this as an audiobook. The narrator themselves were fine, just the content of the book was a bit dry. Probably would've gotten a higher rating if the content of Mythos itself didn't feel dry and boring to me.

It's very enjoyable to read! Main female character is relatable for me. It was kind of cute to read. I would read it again.

adventurous informative mysterious reflective relaxing medium-paced

While it's very informative, I wish it would go in-depth a little bit more with each mythology. The narration is a little bland, but bearable. It could've provided a little bit more captivating and entertaining in a sense to keep me from spacing out.

A cute little time-travel and coming-of-age story through Korean dishes. It's a little bit muddy regarding the time-traveling and I was losing all of the story threads by the end. However, it's still a decent read that I wouldn't mind listening or reading again for fun.

It's a little rough around the edges fairytale that I enjoyed. It's a cute little novella to listen to in between things. However, it's a bit spicier and has more romance than expected for a fairytale.

It's very informative but prolonged. It took me a couple of days to fully finish listening to it.

It's a calming, relaxing bedtime story. However, there isn't a main plot, so it took me a few days to listen to it because I kept getting lost trying to figure out what the actual plot of this story was.

This is such a cute little romance! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside. It reminds me of myself and my relationship struggles, but I can substitute my struggles with reading this cute manga.

When I started reading this as a child on my Nook, I couldn't finish it and banished it to my DNF list because I just couldn't continue reading as it felt a bit cringy at the time. When I picked up the audiobook, I thought I'd give it another try. I still struggled to finish the audiobook. It still felt as cringy as I thought it was when I initially read this on my Nook.
