Critique Of Books Troy

This was a great retelling of the Trojan war, but from the perspective of normal people. None of our main characters were big heroes in the war. Ten years in, the war is still going strong. Sisters Marpessa and Xanthe play different roles inside the city, but remain close. Xanthe is a healer of wounded soliders. Marpessa is a weaver who can see the gods. When Eros strikes Xanthe with an arrow from his bow, the sisters become entangled in a love story as complicated as the gods.I loved seeing the

I did like the book to some extent. In the beginning, it was rather slow and so much romance plots that it was hard to figure out what was going on. You needed to wait a while to actually see what this book was leading to. I think the idea was really good, and a different approach for the Greek gods to influence the life of the people so much and take charge, it was basically them playing chess with the people. But it was hard to understand the purposes of the different actions and what they

Adele Geras did an incredible job writing this book. Although it may not have been the most exciting at times, Geras did a very good job in creating characters all intertwined in a very unique romantic situation. She pulls family apart in this book all over a love that, at times, seems very unreliable and almost fails. As the book goes on, the romance between characters start to get quite complicated and the battle between the Greeks and Trojans intensifies greatly. Geras writes the latter half

I was looking forward to reading this book about the Trojan War but it didn't really work for me - until perhaps the last couple of chapters which were moving and shocking. It takes place during the final stages of the ten year Trojan War and it is written from the perspectives of different everyday Trojans - mainly women - living behind the wall in Troy. There is a range of characters, ranging from the legendary players in this well-known myth to the lesser known characters, including Hector's

I skim the blurbs about books because some blurbs give away more about the plot than I like. Well, should have read more about this one! It was ok. A little weird and not a very good love story at all!

The worst re-telling of all time. Nothing original, except for a ridiculously juvenile love story of minor characters that was more filler than story. Exceptionally bad dialogue.I assumed this was a debut novel because it was so bad. I was astonished, upon completion, to find that Geras has written many books. I would say 'Don't quit your day job' but apparently this is her day job.

Ten years after the siege of Troy began, the battles continue as if there will be no resolution. Everyone is on edge, hoping there will soon be an end. Sisters, Xanthe and Marpessa, have caught the attention of Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, who has grown bored from the lingering war. Marpessa is a servant to Helen, while Xanthe works for the prince of Troy, Hector, and his wife. In her free time, she works in the infirmary for the injured coming from the war. Wanting some entertainment, Aphrodite
