This book was decent. It was easy to read and understand. I learned even more about the Trojan War, but I prefer the books by Adele Geras to this one. Adele Geras was more dramatic. Her books included romance as well as adventure. This book simply had adventure. At some points, the author would drop something important in a subtle manner and would expect the reader to pick it up, but because it was so subtle, it was hard for the reader to notice.

An excellent reimagining of the Iliad that is believable while being close to the source
