i didn't finish this because 1) i have some nitpicky opinions about greek mythology and didn't like some of the (admittedly fine) choices the author made, and 2)

i was getting way too stressed out for helen when she ran away with paris. i could feel the ironic tragedy looming over her head and i had a hard time getting through paris' obvious manipulation of her.

it was an overall well written book, i just had a hard time with it personally.
