This book was really interesting! I loved how the author connected changing perspectives on Aphrodite to historical events and locations. It was especially fascinating learning about Aphrodite's roots in Eastern mythology and her shift to Venus and conflict with the Catholic Church. My only problem with this book is that sometimes I couldn't really tell what point the author was trying to make? Which might just be because I'm sick and tired and nonfiction is hard to read. But it sometimes felt like she was just listing facts without drawing any conclusions. Which I forgive, because, like I said, super interesting book! 

(ALSO: I loved all of the art included in this book so much. Wish more of it had been in color because it's all so pretty!)
