Blood of Troy

De: Claire Andrews

Narrado por: Brittany Pressley

The sequel to Daughter of Sparta thrusts warrior Daphne and her love interest, the Olympian god Apollo, into the middle of the Trojan War in an epic YA fantasy reimagining of Greek mythology.

A year after saving the powers of Olympus by defeating Nyx, the Goddess of Darkness, Daphne is haunted by still-looming threats, her complicated feelings for the god Apollo, and the promise she made to the Olympian gods that she would help them again when they called upon her. When their command finally comes, it is deceptively simple: secure herself a spot as one of Queen Helen’s guards.

A war is coming, and all of Sparta must be prepared.

In the midst of a treaty summit among the monarchs of Greece, Daphne and Helen uncover a plot of betrayal—and soon, a battle begins that leads to all-out war. As the kingdoms of Greece clash on the shores of Troy and the gods choose sides, Daphne must use her wits, her training, and her precarious relationship with Apollo to find a way to keep her queen safe, stop the war, and uncover the true reason the gods led her to Troy. But the gods are keeping more than one secret, and Daphne will be forced to decide how far she is willing to go to save those she loves—and whose side she’s on in a war that is prophesized to be the downfall of her people.

worth the read

The story was a good sequel and an interesting alternate take on the story the Odyssey.

Not your father’s mythology

I’m a fan of Greek mythology and enjoyed this different take on classic stories. I caught myself talking to my car stereo as the story progressed telling Daphne to ‘stay strong’ and not fall for Apollo. This book filled me with mixed emotions towards the Gods, liking some of them and getting mad at others. I can’t wait to see where the story continues.

Great Sequel

Loved every second of this sequel and looking forward to the final book! Really flips the main perspective of the Trojan War.

Ehhhh

I’ve listened to the first book and found it interesting to say the least. Why I find it interesting is because of the many challenges and adventure.. the story was great to say the least.

This story had an interesting take to say the least as well. Except the MC, Daphne don’t know what she wants, the story arc was weak, and the constant flirting and sexual several other characters is tiring. I’m not sure I’ll read what comes next
