Beowulf's Children

I'm curious about how the author approached blending classic mythology with horror elements. Did any particular legends or themes influence this reimagining?

The story seemed to take a moment to breathe before ramping up again. Do others think this was an intentional choice to build tension or a pacing hiccup?

The story feels darker and more introspective. I wonder how this reinterpretation impacts the way we view the heroes and their sacrifices.
