Every night, I looked forward to jumping in bed to escape into the world of the Greek gods, as seen from the women”s perspective. Looking through this unique lens, I met the historical characters and discovered new heroism through the lives of women and slaves. Wished the book did not end.

It was okay. Honestly it was mostly about Achilles, which I don’t mind. I wasn’t wowed. Sort of a poor explanation for the girls’ story. Nothing spectacular or moving, sadly.
