This was much better than Ariadne. The three female leads are all interesting and unique, they have their own motivations and challenges and are strong characters who have flaws. You side with all of them even though some you may agree less with. Troy is always interesting and I love Clytemnestra's story. At times it may feel slow as this is a lot of telling and retelling of parts of the story the main characters are not present during (like the battle itself) however I didn't have this problem and enjoyed it all.
