loved how the Trojan war was retold through the pov’s of all the women and goddesses. But oof it’s sad and gross what they all went through #mensuck I feel like it kind of repeated famous mythology stories instead of more retelling but also I didn’t know a lot of the info so I was entertained 🤪

Such a great read - I've definitely heard/read/watched stories of the Trojan War before but never from any of these perspectives present here. And it seems that these are definitely less common stories to be told when speaking of this War.
The book jumps between perspectives of multiple women, some getting multiple chapters and some just showing up once, but each getting their tales told. The stories also challenge how we think about "heroes" and really highlight the widespread (and often hidden) casualties of the war, especially off battlefield and after the war was over. Natalie Haynes has done a great job with this book!
