Hey Diego, I liked the way you set this up. I think it being in poem format gives the story more emotion and insight into what you were feeling at the time. Thanks for writing.

I love this book! I completely agree Claire. Miller’s writing is poetic yet simplistic and truly sucks the reader into the story. Even though the story of the Trojan War has been told for centuries, she manages to tell it in a way that revitalizes the characters and themes
