Naermyth (Naermyth, #1)
by Karen Francisco
by Karen Francisco
What I appreciate most about “Naermyth” is the concept and the attempt to retell local myths to suit modern readers. It’s something that Rick Riordan has done very successfully for Greek, Roman, and Egyptian mythology. And while I wouldn’t go so far as to say that “Naermyth” is up to par with Riordan’s work, it’s a respectable step towards getting there.

6.0% | "I'm trying to get over my initial discomfort over reading English dialogue when it's Filipinos in the Philippines speaking to each other. I swear this would probably be awesome if it was written in Filipino. The premise is interesting, so let's see what the author can do we that." |

52.0% | "*potentially spoilery update* Okay, so this all feels like Tito Bing just dropped a grenade nearby. The revelation of what Dorian is is jarring to me, especially after just finishing an entire YA series dedicated to a character like Dorian. That's not the book's fault, I know. But the reimagining of a Filipino myth to accommodate a more Western one (unless I'm mistaken) feels so out of place. Argh!" |

Ay no. Not yet. I really want to read it. Even if you gave it a ho-hum rating. I just want to try a Filipino fantasy. I've read one before and really liked it. I want to suggest it for graphic novel month but I forgot the title. (doh)
