Daughters of Bronze: A Novel of Troy by A.D. Rhine
4.0
I’ve read The Iliad. I’ve read A Song of Achilles. I know what happens at the end of the Trojan War but I still wanted to bawl constantly during this book. Probably because I got to know these women so well and love them.
Though this was a seamless continuation of Horses of Fire, there was still some great character transformation/evolution.
There’s much more of Cassandra and the strength she pulls from all aspects of herself.
Helen becomes more of the leader and caregiver that she’s meant to be.
Andromache makes the transition from warrior to mother and that never seems to make her any less of either role. So much better than the hothead she was in the first book.
Rhea is no longer a mouse and I was rooting for her the whole time. Loved loved loved her relationship with Ajax.
Would have loved to see more of Paris to get a deeper understanding of his character. Compared to the first book in the duology, there didn’t seem to be one main villain; it just felt like biding time against the inevitable (but that was probably the point). Some of the story also felt a bit stretched out compared to first book but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
Thank you to NetGalley and Dutton/Penguin Group for the advanced copy of this book.
