4.0

I enjoyed this book, it was interesting to hear all the stories of women in the Trojan war, often so overlooked. I thought some moments were genuinely brilliant, and I loved the inclusion of characters like Gaia or Calliope. However, I was slightly disappointed by the Penelope chapters: I just don’t think they really added anything at all to her character and were generally a bit weak. I also would have loved to see more of Andromache, she is one of my favourite women in the Iliad 
Still, all in all, a very interesting read
