I read this book back when I was in grade school and I still think about it more than a decade later. A beloved childhood memory

A retelling of events leading up to the Trojan War. It's largely driven by fate. I didn't find the main character (Anaxandra) particularly compelling, but I thought she was an effective POV character. The world felt tangible in her eyes, and it made sense to me how, throughout the series of childhood separations, she always tried to grasp and hold on to love.

Liked the Medusa bits + the
Cassandra twist
towards the end

Ein Jugendbuch von mir, in das ich mal wieder abtauchen wollte. Es war nicht mehr ganz so schön wie beim ersten Mal... Man wird eben doch älter :D
