This is one of the best retelling I have ever read. It tells the stories of women impacted by the Trojan war. I was apprehensive of that premise at first because often I don’t love multi-POV books. But with this book the format fit perfectly and even added more to the story I think. I would highly recommend this if you are a Greek myth lover or a retelling lover. (But do be warned it does get a little upsetting at times)
Graphic: Death and Grief
Moderate: Slavery
Minor: Rape, Sexual violence, and Suicidal thoughts
