The book is quite slow, at least for me. The first half of the book is very entertaining, it make you want to read more and more. The last couple of chapters are a bit slower and i didn’t really fancy to read them. For example, I found Penelope’s chapters to be the most boring ones, especially at the end. The book is complex and it narrates the story of women during the Troy war (Greek/Troy women). It shows the two side of the coins, the privilege some of them had and/or how some of them got their privileges revoked. It’s a very good book, it screams female range and definitely worth a reading.
