The epic siege of Troy told through the eyes of young people trapped within its walls. Primarily the story of two sisters Xanthe and Marpessa cursed by the goddess of love, Aphrodite, to love the same boy. Marpessa serves as the handmaiden for Helen. Xanthe is nursemaid for Andromache, Hector's wife. Will either sister escape the arrows of Eros? Will anyone escape Troy alive? A fantastic book! It does contain mature thematic content, violence, and profanity. It is Troy from an insider's point of

I was never into reading History books or Historical Fiction stories until about a year ago. Thats when I read History my mind started to form it into its own love story, soap opera, or young adult novel. All of the sudden, History just wasnt facts about yesterday; they were stories about people like us today.Now, Im not going to lie, I didnt just stumble along this book; it itself didnt pop out and grab my interest. Theres a movie that my family watches frequently called Troy which has Brad

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

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

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

Full review at BooklikesInteresting retelling of Troy as it focuses primary on women and little people the soldiers that no one cares about. So if you are thinking of reading big battle scenes, not so much for you. The primary focus is two sisters who eventually care about the same man (who really doesnt seem that great when you think about it) perhaps something of reverse gender Paris/Helen/Menelaus triangle.

It was a really good romance, war book. Really good characters, fantastic setting, book pulled me in and some really marvelous action scenes and blood baths.
