Sparrows in the Wind
Sparrows in the Wind | Gail Carson Levine
1 post | 1 read
This novel from Newbery Honor author Gail Carson Levine about two princesses battling against their fates in the middle of the Trojan War is a must-read for anyone who loves Greek mythology or the Percy Jackson books! Cassandra, a princess of Troy and follower of Apollo, is delighted when the god himself appears to her. Apollo asks to love her in exchange for giving her future sight, and she agrees—but recoils when he kisses her. Enraged, the god transforms his gift into a curse: Cassandra’s visions will never be believed. After horrifying images of coming war and death pour into her mind, and with no one to heed her warnings, Cassandra risks her safety again and again to avert the disaster awaiting Troy. But it will take years—and the friendship of an Amazon warrior princess named Rin—for Cassandra to find hope of success in reversing the course of the war. With heroines to cheer for and nail-biting adventures, Newbery Honor–winning author Gail Carson Levine once again transports her readers, this time to ancient Troy, where princesses (even cursed ones) will stop at nothing to shape their fate.

The Two Princesses of Bamarre was one of my favorite books as a kid, so I thought I‘d give this one a try. Another story with two female protagonists. Didn‘t like it at all. Probably because I didn‘t like either of the narrators of the audiobook. Cassandra‘s conversations with her dog were annoying. It‘s frustrating knowing throughout the end of the story of the Trojan War, but nice that they were able to change fate a bit.
