When I read this, I really enjoyed it. Then I went and read some other opinions and they had some good points about how poorly the female characters are written. It was also brought to my attention  that the author changed something from the original mythology that she really shouldn’t have. She had the princess do something to Achilles that in the original, Achilles did to her. Hearing all of these things, I have complicated feelings toward this book 😭
