A review by the_literarylinguist
The Song of Troy by Colleen McCullough

3.0

As always, McCullough writes historical fiction very well and has clearly thoroughly researched the sources surrounding this famous war. However, this book was missing the razor sharp wit and narrator's voice which made her Rome series so fantastic. I would have probably enjoyed this book far more had I not already read the Rome series and known what she as a writer is capable of. I must confess myself disappointed: it is a good book, just not the brilliant book I was hoping for.
