I think this book shows what we are missing with retellings of greek mythology. A lot of people are interested nowadays in all of these retellings that are focused on the heroes, and it's so important to understand this from the side of the women. It was a bit heartbreaking to read about all of their challenges and consequences they often faced from mens' actions. 

It was hard to get into at first, it took me some time to get used to the writing style. All together, it is short stories of all of the women impacted by the Trojan War. It is non-linear and some stories are only a chapter long while others span the entire book. I liked how we had the goddess of poetry almost guiding us through these stories. 

I would recommend anybody interested in greek myths to read through this. It's such a powerful rendition of the war from a completely different perspective.
