Definitely not as good as book one.
I don't know why I was expecting more, but this did not live up to my expectations. A lot of running, far-fetched disguises, and unanswered questions. I love the idea of "recreating" the myth, but Friesner took liberties (The Furies, The Amazons, Herakles, to name a few...) that I wasn't anticipating--totally squelched the fun of those stories. Helen is still super strong and an awesome heroine, but the rest of the text intermixed with her story turned me off.
Maybe there will be a third?
