A lot of Greek name dropping and gory death scenes. It is basically a lot of killing of people you don’t care much about. I can appreciate its place in history and it certainly explains why Western culture views violence as entertainment, but it is personally not to my taste.

There is just something about this book. As someone who usually hates books that drone on about the fighting side of a war, I really found myself gripped in this one. The repetition really bought me back into the poetry mindset, and I think the book was well-paced and even though I knew what was going to happen, I found myself stressed, excited and on the edge of my seat. I am really looking forward to the Odyssey.
