Nobody's Princess by Esther M. Friesner

4.0

Helen is a great character, she wants for more out of life than just marriage and is determined to get it. The best part about her though is the fact that she want to be her own person; not a younger version of her brother, not her twin sister, not Atlanta, and not the whoever the Oracle of Delfie sees in her visions. She is Helen, future queen of Sparta, a ten year old who can trained secretly along side her brothers to learn how to fight, sister to the queen of Mykane, and her own person all together. The book is worth the read there are a lot of characters that you will recognize from Greek legends but none of them are quite what you expected them to be. Helen sees the world for what it really is and not through the stories that are made up about her adventures along the way.
