- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Read this as a kid and it's one of my favorite historical fiction books and probably a catalyst for my lifelong interest in Greek mythology and history.
Content warning for mentions of rape and some gnarly deaths...which now makes me question why this book is in the juvenile fiction section of the library...but I guess I read it as a preteen and I'm mostly fine so - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very interesting take on the beginnings of the Trojan war. Loved the story.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I tried listening to this book, I found the character flat and the story uninteresting. I really wanted to like this book. It sounded better than it was. Maybe I'll revisit this book and read it in a couple of months.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Anaxandra, a girl taken from her home island, finds herself involved in the Trojan war, hated by Helen and Paris, and loved as a daughter by Helen's former husband. I wanted to like this book, really I did. It had such potiental to be really good. But Cooney's writing was choppy and she would start and end scenes abruptly without any thought to the reader. The story also ends rather suddenly without any good closure. Don't waste your time with this one.
