Extremely well written, it was interesting to have the Trojan war told from so many different perspectives through all the women.

I didn't finish this. Maybe it's because I'm a classicist, but this wasn't fun to read. Haynes glosses through the stories, without time to develop the characters. And if you don't know the stories, that's fine, but I think most of us know them. The breaking point was how she wrote the goddesses. Again, could be my background, but I couldn't rhyme their behaviour with their personalities and backgrounds. I'll use this book for school and I'm interested in her other books, but his one didn't do it for me.

This reminded me of how much I used to enjoy Greek mythology and experiencing it from a different view was something I never considered. It's inspired me to read more greek myths
