Review
Told through the nine Muses, or Mousai, in seven vignettes, the story of Apollo is one of cruelty and pride and the struggle to figure out where he fits in. Gorgeously drawn and rich in detail, this book is an excellent addition to O'Connors Olympians graphic novel series. Includes an author's note, information about each major player in the book, and line-by-line notes along with a bibliography for further reading. Highly recommend this title and the entire series for any library collection.
Overall Book Score: excellent
