Although it was a little YA-ish for my tastes at moments, this was a truly beautiful retelling of the Trojan War. The treatment of supernatural elements reminded me of a more mature "Percy Jackson", and the descriptions of heroic acts and war-time violence were captivating and compelling. I was also impressed with the normalizing way the author included aspects of non-hetero sexuality. This kind of inclusion is beneficial to the reading community.
