I really love myths. Especially Greek, but Norse and Egyption stuff is very ok too. Lots of these are gaining prominence like, the Percy Jackson and Kane stuff by Rick Riordan (he’s a genius), Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini, stuff about Valkyries (Norse) and Sirens, etc. It’s starting to become a whole little genre and for good reason. Because it’s fun to read. Yeah there is all that educational stuff (and I actually learn a lot) but mostly because it’s just good. It’s enjoyable having modern day mixed with ancient history and many authors actually balance it really, really well. Having modern day main characters thrust into a world of old stories, traditions, rules, and powers is really exciting to read about and I definitely want more! If you have any recommendations of books that include myths (any kind really) just reply or drop it off in my ask box!
