Go for it if you don’t mind anachronism
“Seconds”, “minutes”, “hours”, “inch”, “foot”, “yard” and “ceasefire”! Come on, I mean even as a non-native English speaker I know it should be “truce” since it is a war fought with cold weapons! The whole book is dotted here and there with these kind of negligence to detail and there is no way to escape from them—there are simply too many.
Otherwise it is not badly written, though I suspect the author is torn between giving the female characters a voice and depicting a male same sex relationship that she seems to be appreciating (the depiction of the Achilles-Patroclus relationship was great!); and between giving things a scientific explanation (to the modern eye) and retaining the mythical touch with supernatural powers appearing on stage—that she ended up falling short in every one of these efforts.
For retelling more or less the same story with plenty of female perspective, I would recommend Colleen McCullough’s “Song of Troy”. I had enjoyed it way more than I do this one.
