Adèle Geras – Troy

The siege of Troy has lasted almost ten years. Inside the walled city, food is scarce and death is common. From the heights of Mount Olympus, the Gods keep watch. But Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, is bored with the endless, dreary war. Aided by Eros’s bow, the goddess sends two sisters down a bloody path to an awful truth: In the fury of war, love strikes the deadliest blows

This is basically the Odyssey  Illiad told from the Trojans point of view. It’s actually pretty good and sounds like something that the Trojans realistically would’ve been like. Now, to be honest, I haven’t read the Illiad and my only knowledge of the Trojan War comes from the Odyssey but it sounds legit. And you really get that ‘two sides of the story’ type feeling. Like it’s written so you can’t help but sympathize with the Trojans and understand why they do what they did. But be warned, the romance is…. TERRIBLE.
