A review by lmorgan2100
Troy by Stephen Fry

5.0

There is a reason why these Greek stories have endured the length of time that they have. Stephen Fry's series about greek mythology continues to be an absolute joy to read and Troy was no different. Fry brings these stories to life with all the drama and humor that they deserve. Retellings that I've read in the past often come across dry like a middle school textbook but Fry makes these heroes and gods come alive. Troy focuses on the stories that lead up to the Trojan War and the battles that take place during it. The amount of names and backstories can be confusing but Fry includes many helpful footnotes with the pronunciation and explanation of names. Without that, I would have easily been confused. Troy was a subject I didn't know a lot about besides the basics of the death of Achilles and Odysseus and the Trojan Horse.
Thanks to NetGalley for my copy.
