Wrath Goddess Sing Book Review

” Wrath Goddess Sing” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read. Achilles has fled her home and her vicious Myrmidon clan to live as a woman with the kallai, the transgender priestesses of Great Mother Aphrodite. When Odysseus comes to recruit the “prince” Achilles for a war against the Hittites, she prepares to die rather than fight as a man. However, her divine mother, Athena, intervenes, transforming her body into the woman’s body she always longed for, and promises her everything: glory, power, fame, victory in war, and, most importantly, a child born of her own body. Reunited with her beloved cousin, Patroklos, and his brilliant wife, the sorceress Meryapi, Achilles sets out to war with a vengeance.

Brief Summary Wrath Goddess Sing by Maya Deane

The plot of this book closely follows the Illiad, but this is not just any retelling of the same old story. Maya Deane deftly works her way through the classic poem, hitting all of the same notes, but places the emphasis on new and fresh beats.Recasting Achilles as a trans woman is a revelation. She maintains all the faults and foibles of the original vanity and pridefulness of the classical depiction, but here Achilles’ pride is not mere hubris, but rather a shout of defiance against the expectations placed on her by both humans and the gods. Her pride is her refuge, her safe port, where she can withstand the buffeting of the world around her. As the protagonist to a novel, Achilles is a delight–a lively, funny character who’s faults are all too understandable.
