Winner of Indies Today Best Poetry Award 2021 for her debut novel Breaking Birds, Roberts returns with this beautifully poetic retelling of the myth of Achilles.

Destined from birth to become a legend, Achilles grew up training to be a warrior to fulfill his prophecy.

When the time comes, however, he begins to doubt the heroism of his bloodshed.

With war raging all around him, will Achilles find a reason to join the battle?

I did struggle with the structure of this book, content and structure seen to be scrambled. I did however learn slight variations of some mythology.

Overall I’d say this book is more for those who already have a good understanding of Greek philosophy and not for those with limited or no knowledge
