I was recently reminded, in a conversation online, how much I love this book and it led me to pick it up off the shelf and start reading. After a couple of hours, I put the book down and though it's not the same 15 years after the first reading, it is still a book close to my heart.

I always felt that Cassandra, Princess of Troy, was somewhat left out of the stories of the battle. Her story is a tragic one, but she is portrayed here, by Bradley, as a strong and determined woman and it is this portrayal of her that I enjoy the most.

Definitely a book I would recommend reading if you love the myths of Troy.

I am aware that many are boycotting the books of Bradley because of recent revelations made about her by her daughter, I would say that here is a point where you need to separate art from artist and enjoy the book for what it is, not what the writer was.
