- It's queer screaming time, because holy forking shirtballs, this book! Feminine rage! Power! Love! Deeply rooted queerness! WRATH GODDESS SING exceeded my high expectations and I need everyone to read it.
- I think it will probably help to have some knowledge of Greek mythology, as there are a lot of names and references to other events thrown around. However, it's not a straightforward retelling of the story of the Trojan War. The bones of the story are there, but many events and relationships have been changed to fit this framework.
- The prose of this book is a bit dense, often flowery, and there are a lot of gruesome battle scenes, all of which I know will put some readers off. For me, military influenced fantasy usually takes me forever to get through, but despite all these things, I found myself immediately fully immersed, and I absolutely could not put it down.
- I simply cannot stop thinking about Achilles. Her staunch belief in herself, her fiery rage, her impulsiveness, her intensity, her blooming godhood, her boundless love. Ugh, I already want to reread this!
