This collection of stories made for some really nice bite-sized reads between reads. It gives glimpses of various goddesses outside their typical settings. Each short story had very relatable situations and hidden lessons to take away from them. For example, the Kuan Yin story is a reminder that it costs nothing to put a little effort into giving someone value they cannot give themselves.
Some of the stories in this compilation read in a little bit of a 'fragmented thought' format which isn't necessarily a bad thing! It felt REAL, like being inside the characters' heads throughout their thought processes. It made the storytelling itself relatable.
Artemis and the Cats was my personal favorite!! Penelope certainly wasn't expecting that chain of events on her hike with Dally! But then I suppose we often find things we weren't even looking for in the most unexpected of places, don't we?
It gives me great pleasure to give this collection of goddess stories five mythic stars!
