doesn't he spend page after page after page describing thing?

Its insufferable LOL.

Right at the beginning he starts off with not just that, but also things like

>"Obviously the reader knows the temple of Solomon, so we will skip through this for the reader's sake, which is you. The lavish adornments of the temple, which the reader is already familiar with, resembled the embellishments where king Henry first enfrorbled the oiuletonpom, which the reader has likely seen first hand; what ever did become of it? How did we get where we are? The reader must remember the site on which gouilluete di bombom wombonned his first chompoponpon- funny how life works. In such a way, as we just described, did Duke Flamingo behold Esmeralda, under the watchful gaze of our lady of notre dame"

Its gibberish

Iliad is actually kino. It was a gory and violent masterpiece of its time. Troy was based off of the Iliad of you wanna get a cinematic taste for the action but trust me. Way more action in the book illiad. Athena is a baddass there too. Apollo is a bitch but apparently the book itself is said to be merely a slice of the actual war. Godamn. Read it all and others bc I’m writing a sci-fi fan fic. AMA. My favorite part is how Homer describes the deaths (darkness veils their eyes)
