#[the 'dogshit' part is not about them being feminist/queer retellings its about them being dogshit. Which a lot of these sorts #of things are going to be because a lot of the authors have little to no interest in actually engaging with history in ways #that will make these retellings nuanced or have any point that a modern era/complete fantasy story would not]#Rememvers that Song Of Achilles exists and clemches my fist so hard that I lose circulation #Literally not sure I've ever hated a book more. Don't let them Song Of Achilles other mythic cycles you can't let them fucking do it
