This is a really fun, easy way to experience The Odyssey without getting bogged down in heavy language. Liv Albert makes the story feel smooth and approachable, whether you know Greek mythology or not.
Odysseus’s journey is told in clear, quick-moving episodes, so you still get all the big moments like the Cyclops, Circe, and the Sirens without feeling lost. The writing is simple and conversational, which makes everything more engaging.
I also loved how the women are written. Penelope, Circe, Calypso, and Athena all feel strong and important to the story. Odysseus himself feels more human too, clever but tired and flawed, which adds depth.
The illustrations are bold and moody and really bring the story to life without taking over.
Overall, this is a great pick if you want a classic told in a modern, easy-to-read way.
