Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a great finale in a series. I really loved this series and all of the mythology and history incorporated into the books.

I’ve always been really fascinated by the story of Cassandra and it was interesting and unique to see it explored here from the point of view of Ritsa. The occasional use of other POVs really added a nice layer to the story and fleshed it out. It was quite jarring that British slang was randomly used, but I eventually got used to it. I think I can safely say this was my favorite of the series so far.

The third instalment of the Women of Troy series brings with it a new narrator for this stage of the story, Ritsa. Now a servant to Cassandra, she accompanies her for Agamemnon's triumphant return home to his family. And Cassandra, a prophet, has some interesting predictions about this return and the welcome from his wife, Clytemnestra, and daughter, Electra. I found this story to be more interesting than the prior one of the series but still would have like to see more of Clytemnestra and Electra (though strictly speaking they are not Trojan women). I found Ritsa's viewpoint, as a servant so just outside, and able to observe both Cassandra and Clytemnestra made the story even richer. The women of this book are more vibrant and more active in determining their story than the prior books of the series and I have to admit that I enjoyed this more than the previous books. The prose is clear and concise and the story reads quickly. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys myths, especially retellings from a female perspective. (3.5/5).
I received advanced digital access to this book thru NetGalley (for which I want to thank NetGalley and the publisher, Doubleday Books) for an honest review. The opinion expressed here is my own.

I will never get sick of mythology from a woman's perspective... I cried I felt things... thankyou for these books

This story captured me from the very first sentence and it still has not lessened its grip upon my thoughts. There are very few books that I have read that seem to have perfection in every word, every sentence, yet this is one of them. A very worthy successor to the first two books in this thrilling series, "The Voyage Home" was stunning in its story=telling ability of Cassandra - the poor prophetic princess. Ever since I first read the Iliad, I felt so much empathy for Cassandra and wished there had been a story concentrating on her journey, her thoughts. I got my wish, and Ms. Barker did an excellent job. I highly, highly recommend this book and it is definitely one of my best reads for 2024!!! All the stars possible!!!

The amazing and entrancing story of Cassandra, Clytemnestra, and a survivor of the Trojan War. I didn’t want to stop reading, even when the end came, I felt hypnotized by the story. I want more!
