sarai0410 's review for:

Daughters of Sparta by Claire Heywood
2.75
emotional medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I really didn't go into this book expecting to dislike one of the characters so much - especially Helen of Sparta/Troy. I'm not sure if it was the time jumping, the dual POVs, or just the characters themselves that made it difficult to connect with the story but I really couldn't connect to either sister. 

As a character-driven book with little plot (there is some but if you are familiar with the story, you'll already know what is coming) I really need to connect to at least one character to keep my interest.
