A different perspective on a story I love to read regularly. Hektor comes.across well.but sometimes at the disadvantage of others.

I'm not really sure how to feel about this book. Hector is one of my favorite mythological/historical figures, and although this takes a different take on things that what you'd expect, it was still a decent read.

One of the things I enjoyed most about this book was seeing Hektor's struggles to deal with his responsibilities and the heavy weight of his place in the kingdom. It is clear that he'd do everything for the ones he loves, mainly his son, Hapi, and you can't help but to feel for him. The historical atmosphere in addition to the very good writing makes for a very good book. One that I can't say is my cup of tea, though.

Although I enjoy historical fiction and the story was decent, I didn't enjoy this as much as I'd think I would, which is disappointing. But I'd still urge anyone else who's interested in something like this to give it a chance.
