Picked up this book because I loved A Song of Achilles and Circe and was very interested in reading about the Trojan War from a female perspective. I really enjoyed seeing the famous stories told from the feminine side and loved especially the chapters that depicted the ridiculousness of the female gods. Other chapters were harder to read but still very powerful. Def recommend this to those interested in Greek mythology/tales. #AThousandShips

Love love love loved it 🥰. I have a super soft spot for Greek mythology and omg this was so good. I finished it within two days which is super rare for me. The characters were good. Paragraphs weren't dragged out and although the order was a bit off in order to keep them short and sweet it was a highly readable book. Definitely recommend if you're a fan of the widely loved Song of Achilles and Circe!

I feel like both books didn‘t do anything exciting. Both share an interesting premise - telling the Troy war from the women‘s perspective - yet often it was just a repetition of Achilles, Hectors, ... story and not truly theirs.
