I throughly enjoyed this book. It isn’t my usual genre but I couldn’t put this book down. The stories of the women of Troy and Greece are rarely told but they are some of the most important stories to tell. I love how the author talked about women from both sides of the Trojan war. This book was sad but wonderfully written. It took me a second to get into but I ended up enjoying the back and forth between stories. Overall, I thought this was a wonderful book and I’m excited to expand into the world of Greek mythology with my reading.
