Ares: Bringer of War by George O'Connor

5.0

This is a book that has me thinking about it years after I've read it. Ares: Bringer of War is that good. O'Connor masterfully depicts The Illiad in stunning art. This book is chilling. I loved the color scheme, narrative style, and portrayal of characters.

The storytelling is so powerful that I still remember specific scenes to this day.

Spoiler

The scene where Achilles drags Hector's body is so visceral and potent. I remember sitting there in shock the first time I read it. The complexity of that scene astounds me. Also, that ending conversation with Zeus and Ares? Dang.

You can tell which books are made with pure passion and creativity. O'Connor's Olympians series has never failed to disappoint.
