Just finished reading "Wrath Goddess Sing," a gift from my wife. Loved almost all of it.
It's a retelling of the Trojan War, but Achilles is a transwoman - gifted her woman's body by Athena in an early chapter. The human characters, including her cousin Patroklos and his Egyptian wife, Meryapi, is exceptional.
The battle scenes are phenomenal, and Maya Deane does a great job conveying the chaos and brutality of fighting in wars 3,000 years ago with bows & arrows, spears, swords, and horse-drawn chariots.
I also enjoyed the universality of the gods and goddesses, that Deane showed the commonality of a deity in one culture with the same deity in another, how they were known by different names but still worshipped for their core values and personalities.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book all the way up to the climax when it took a sudden (and unexpected) turn toward the supernatural. Once I got there, I clearly saw how Deane set it up, and it does make sense to the story, but I was hoping to see that finale on the battlefield.
I definitely recommend this if you want to see your mythology mixed with violent battles and a feminist edge that gives Achilles a new life in our modern literary world.
