korol_rezni's review against another edition
1.0
DNF. Bu kadar dağınık bir anlatım şeklini daha önce okudum mu bilmiyorum. Cümlenin ortasında sanki ne söyleyeceğini unutmuş gibi başka bir şey anlatmaya başlıyor. Bir kitaptan ziyade birinin düşünce akışını okumak gibi. Ki o da karmakarışık zaten. Bir anda alakasız birinden bahsedip anılara dalıp sonra başka biri aklına gelip oraya atlıyor. Geçmiş gelecek hayal hepsi birbirine girmiş gibi. Resmen sadece baş ağrısı yaptı. Çok merak ettiğim bir hikayeydi ama artık zerre umrumda değil.

diegudeste's review against another edition
The style needs some getting used to and some effort to get into and I'm currently not able nor willing to invest that. It also felt like I already had to know a lot about Troja and Greek mythology and I simply don't. Will try again at a later date.

[3.5 Sterne]
Am Anfang fand ich's noch schwierig mich in den verworrenen Schreibstil (überlange Sätze, nachgestellte Subjekte, endloser Bewusstseinsstrom ohne eine einzige Pause) einzufinden, aber nach einem Drittel war ich drin und konnte auch die Schönheit und Hypnosewirkung der Worte genießen. Ohne Vorwissen über den Trojanischen Krieg und seine Akteur:innen wäre ich allerdings hoffnungslos verloren gewesen. Die Zeitebenen gehen durcheinander (passend zu Kassandras hellseherischer Gabe), ständig tauchen neue Namen auf, gern ohne Erklärung, und die Ereignisse werden meist mehr subtil als klar geschildert. Trotzdem kann ich am Ende würdigen, was Wolf hier abgeliefert hat, nämlich den Krieg um Troja aus Perspektive der Frauen, inklusive ihres Zusammenhalts und ihrer Sorgen (Väter/Männer/Brüder verlieren, Vergewaltigung, Machtlosigkeit), so wie es heutzutage auch in Büchern wie [b:A Thousand Ships|53487148|A Thousand Ships|Natalie Haynes|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1597694359l/53487148._SY75_.jpg|66289299] wieder aufgerollt wird.

she is me. i am her.
the writing was a bit difficult to get used to at the start, but once i got the hang of it it was actually a very fun read.
BUT PLEASE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE CHAPTERS.
i love how the author didnt write cassandra as a character whos completely out of her mind (which most people do) i cant decide if i love or hate the way the visions were written tho.
It also confused me how Briseis was the daughter of Kalkhas ??? maybe bc i read the silence of the girls before this but i never thought briseis would be . actually related to kalkhas.
sorry rhis review is a mess currwntly writint this in my dorms kitchen at 1 am trying to gather my thoughts

OK I LOVE THIS BOOK AND I THINK IT ACTUALLY ALTERED MY BRAIN I LOVE CASSANDRA BYE
