Helena de Esparta, Princesa de Ninguém

Friesner’s take feels both fresh and rooted in mythology. I wonder what sparked the idea to focus on her perspective and how that shaped the story.

The blend of historical fiction with Greek mythology made the world feel real and vivid. I’m curious if the author did specific research to achieve this balance.

The protagonist’s agency seems central, but I kept wondering whether the narrative ultimately fits into or subverts typical fairy tale roles.
