I really enjoyed how the author brought the myth of Helen to life. She gave her a depth of character and conviction that the myths, in their brevity, can never convey. The story itself has lots of surprises and twists thrown in to keep the reader guessing, until the end, what the final outcome will be. This is the first book by this author that I have read but I will definitely be looking for more from her. ![]() ![]() This book is an obvious choice for lovers of Greek mythology but I think any reader who enjoys intrigue and drama in an historical setting will find lots to like in this book. ![]() |
