A review by lavi
Warrior Rising by P.C. Cast

5.0

I can say as an Ancient Greek junkie and because of my total infatuation for the Trojan War and Brad Pitt Achilles I absolutely had to read this book and I am so incredibly glad I did because I loved it.

The characters were real and likable and it was so different from the regular YA book where they both are teenagers at High school in some small town in America with a Mary Sue female protagonist and Hot, Mysterious and painfully boring guy as a love interest.

I found myself cheering Kat on which I can say, really surprised me because I usually don't like the main girl in novels.

Briseis really annoyed me in Troy the movie so I was pretty glad to read so much Briseis-bashing in this book.

I give it four and a half stars and not five only because the ending did not really do it for me, it was abrupt and the chapter before the epilogue seemed way more fulfilling. I wished for a bit more fluff at the end of the war.
