I will it’s a good end for the red Robin run. From volume one to the 26th you see how much Tim has changed. He is able to make choices, which could be considered questionable (and they are most of the times lmao) but he still able to stand his ground and keep his morals. To be good.
I did found him insufferable tho the way he interacted with Stephanie throughout the run or with other girls.

The book is quite slow, at least for me. The first half of the book is very entertaining, it make you want to read more and more. The last couple of chapters are a bit slower and i didn’t really fancy to read them. For example, I found Penelope’s chapters to be the most boring ones, especially at the end. The book is complex and it narrates the story of women during the Troy war (Greek/Troy women). It shows the two side of the coins, the privilege some of them had and/or how some of them got their privileges revoked. It’s a very good book, it screams female range and definitely worth a reading.

Primo libro che leggo di questo autore, è sarà anche l’ultimo. Il modo in cui descrive/ parla delle eroine donne è non solo sessista, ma estremamente condiscende. Personaggi come Medea, Arianna e antigione che vengono descritte come “streghe, pazze, cattive”. Dove ogni loro azione ha sempre un doppio scopo, spesso maligno. Mentre uomini come giasione, Teseo vengono “perdonati”, o viene offerto un secondo punto di vista che li dipinge come dei “santi” e persone per bene. Tutto sommato le storie erano interessanti, ma il casual sessismo è proprio un no per me.

It took me a whole year to finish this book. I don’t like the author style of writing, and although I enjoyed the audio transcript style at the beginning it got repetitive and at times boring to read. I did not expect the turn of the events, and that’s why the book gets 2.5 stars. I didn’t enjoy reading this book, it wasn’t for me
I really liked the story and for once, reading about female artists was so refreshing. I only had two issues: one, the books focused a lot on painters and not so much on contemporary female artists, it would have been nice having more than one. The second one is that the book get repetitive. There was no need to repeat the artist whole life story, it takes away from the painting and it’s message. It got boring after awhile. Overall, a good source of information
It started really strong, it kept you on your toes and it was really interesting. But soon after Caesar death, the play began to carry on for way way to long. It got repetitive and boring in some, if not most parts. At the end, it gets 3 stars cause I really liked the beginning

Il tema, la tematica del libro mi ha molto interessato. È un bel libro, con un messaggio che mi sento molto stretta alla mia esperienza di crescita. Eppure, nonostante tutto, non mi sento di dare più di 3 stelle. I commenti sessisti, omofobi e la grassofobia, hanno reso il tutto poco piacevole alla lettura. Era veramente quella cosa inutile che non serve. Il libro è un po’ sconnesso a tratti, un po’ lento.
