My rating: <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6647583687″>4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
This book started off strong with a war and you get to see a bit of the personality of the main character. He seems to have everything but he isn’t happy and wants more. He wants a legacy left behind that will have stories be told and songs sung long after he is gone. The gods want him to be happy and fulfilled so they send Enkidu to fill that void. Then, there is the goddess Inanna that wants to rule Gilgamesh’s kingdom. She has plans all set up until Enkidu comes into the picture. Will she get the throne or will Gilgamesh rule with Enkidu by his side? Before picking up this book I had heard of Gilgamesh in name only. All the stories and mythologies have always fascinated me but his story is not one that I have read. After reading this retelling I want nothing more than to read what inspired the author into writing this story.
