A review by deborahrosegreen
The King Must Die by Mary Renault

adventurous dark emotional sad tense slow-paced

4.0

Although the author overuses the word 'pleasantly', this book is well researched and written. The protagonist makes frustrating decisions and I disliked him immensely, especially due to his thoughts and actions towards women. I understand, however, that those aspects work towards making this novel historically accurate and acknowledge that it was written in the 50s. Overall, I do recommend this to anyone interested in Greek mythology.
