This book was a 4.5/5 after finising part 2. Unfortunately, the absolutely needless storyline that inundated 90% of part 3, massively effected my enjoyment of this book. It totally feels like this book was either only meant to be the first 2 parts or a bunch of story was removed, either between part 2 and 3 or after 3. Part 3 just felt like a bonus short story other than a continuation of the main storyline. 

The fight between Achilles and Hektor was so awesome man. Achilles taunting Hektor and then getting absolutely pummeled by him was great. Also, Hektor worrying about the shame that Achilles must have been feeling after that was a nice touch. I WANT MORE KASSANDRA, MAN. She is so mysterious, yet not because she just tells everyone the future yet she isnt believed. 

I was not a fan of the time jump. In my opinion, it doesnt really make sense for Gershom to wait 2-3 years to tell Helikaon to stop butchering and burning people when he could have done much earlier (especially when Gershom expected Helikaon to know how unhappy he was with all of this). Also, Helikaon's change after his convo with Gershom was too abrupt. Going from being a merciless butcher back to Helikaon the Trader in a period of a page was a bit too rushed.
