I honestly could not get into this book. I was able to finish it but it took me longer than I expected and I'm not sure if it was because of the 3 different perspectives that didn't really coincide with each other or if it was the the way nothing was really exciting. At some points the plot gets interesting and it holds my attention, then the plot dies and turns to a different perspective.

Spoiler I was excited to read a book with female POVs but I can't wrap my head around why Cassandra's POV was included in this book. I think it was nice to have her perspective as a princess of Troy but I don't feel that her POV was necessary for this book. Also, I was waiting for the point for all 3 of their perspectives merge into 1 but that didn't happen either. I'm not sure if it's because I don't have the most in depth knowledge of Greek mythology but I couldn't get into this book at all.
