A very good ending a solid series, at least the first arc of it.

I've struggled a little with the pacing throughout this series, but the end of this one really got me emotional and I teared up at the epilogue. 😥

I'll definitely be continuing with the next arc of the series, but I worry it won't be the same without certain characters around anymore. 💔

Oh my god! I absolutely inhaled this. Yes, granted, it's only 200 pages, but still!

This is super dark, grim and brutal. It has torture, abuse, forced cannibalism, it is horrific, but it's so good. The determination and drive Dien has to escape is amazing character, and what Rob J Hayes can do in just a few chapters is also amazing.

I NEED to get Dein's next book please 🙏

I'm really not sure how I felt about this one - on the one hand it was utterly grim and despressing, which perfectly captures what these women went through as they were captured, raped, abused, and passed around like objects. On the other hand, even though I can appreciate what it's trying to do, I don't think I enjoyed it as a story. Achilles was portrayed so strangely and his story, conflicts and relationships took over the story of the women. I've never read The Iliad or Song of Achilles so can't really compare them as other reviewers had, but I still found this a bit disappointing.
