Fry impressed me enormously as a reader for Audible and I also heard him give a fine interview about his belief system on television. However, I felt in his retelling of the Greek myths in Mythos he did indeed get in the way of the raw archetypal power of those narratives. Still, I was looking forward to this book. Sadly, I found it a self-indulgent exercise which simply didn’t work for me. The sheer wordiness was off-putting and it didn’t even strike me as a decent exercise in alternate history. I found myself trudging through the book thinking about how much better Philip K Dick deals with similar subject matter.
