Review of 'Troy' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

I especially liked the first part of the book which is about the things that happened before Troy itself happened. The war itself is so barbaric in every sense that it makes me wonder why it survived all these centuries.

Review of 'Troy' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

It makes me want to read and appreciate The Iliad, which is a great achievement.

Not as strong as the previous two. Mythos and Heroes, with their wide variety of stories, suited the relaxed light informative tone of Fry's writing, whereas with Troy there was a noticeable lack of the passion and fire the material definitely deserves.

Still a great time though.
