Okay, como é que eu ia conseguir restir a um livro sobre a Guerra de Tróia? Não consegui, é claro. Como mal podia esperar para o ler, comprei-o logo para o Kindle e foi lido num dia. Quando as deusas Vénus, Atena e Hera se sentem cansadas de levar com as culpas pela guerra entre gregos e troianos, decidem "resgatar" uma rapariga para seduzir e ajudar o guerreiro que pode por fim a esta. Mas o seu plano acaba por ser alterado, tendo de fazer com que apenas a consciência de Kat e da sua amiga Jacky seja trazida para Tróia, ficando a primeira no corpo da princesa de Tróia, Polyxena, e a segunda da sua criada. A história é bastante querida, principalmente quando vemos a verdadeira face de Achilles. A Jacky com Pathroklos é simplesmente hilariante. Não teve o final que eu esperava, e as referência à Buffy e ao Star Trek conseguiram arrancar-me um sorriso. Foi uma tarde bem passada. Adorei! Se alguém souber de mais histórias de ficção passadas nesta época avisem!

I really enjoyed this retelling of the Trojan War. I liked how modern mythology was twisted and mainly rumors. It was quite interesting to see that Achilles was possessed by a Beserker rage rather than being invulnerable from the River Styx.

The plan the three goddesses came up with was kind of crazy, but I admire their ingenuity. I also absolutely loved Kat and Jackie. I love seeing strong, independent, modern woman going back into ancient times and kicking some ass. One of my favorite aspects of this book was Jackie and Kat's friendship. I love how they support each other, care for each and are completely hilarious together. These two ladies made me laugh my butt off.

The romance in this was pretty great as usual too 😂😂😂

Amazing! This books really makes you think about what it is you love about a person and how much you are willing to risk for true love :)

It was a good book with a couple flaws. P. C. Cast has a problem with the beginning of her books. She just doesn't know how to start them. The book progressively got better, but it wasn't my favorite of hers by any stretch. Still it was a very enjoyable read that had a very witty and intelligent main character. I just adored Achilles! A recommendation, don't read this book in public... :)

I can say as an Ancient Greek junkie and because of my total infatuation for the Trojan War and ~~Brad Pitt~~ Achilles I absolutely had to read this book and I am so incredibly glad I did because I loved it.

The characters were real and likable and it was so different from the regular YA book where they both are teenagers at High school in some small town in America with a Mary Sue female protagonist and Hot, Mysterious and painfully boring guy as a love interest.

I found myself cheering Kat on which I can say, really surprised me because I usually don't like the main girl in novels.

Briseis really annoyed me in Troy the movie so I was pretty glad to read so much Briseis-bashing in this book.

I give it four and a half stars and not five only because the ending did not really do it for me, it was abrupt and the chapter before the epilogue seemed way more fulfilling. I wished for a bit more fluff at the end of the war.

The most hilarious modern twist on the Iliad of Homer. It's bad. Really, really bad.
