Absolutely stunning! Such a brutal beauty about this book. I haven’t been so engaged in a book since middle school probably. Would also like to throw this book at any man that argues that all the films about Troy/Romans etc, are right to not include women in the story.
Graphic: War, Sexual violence, Gore, Murder, and Blood
Moderate: Grief, Rape, and Slavery
Minor: Excrement, Pregnancy, and Vomit
