This is the sequel to Nobody's Princess. It picks up directly after the end of that one and carries on in the same vein.

If you like re-imaginings of myths, this is likely a good choice for you. Helen wants to be strong and live her life, but doesn't want to ruin everyone else's to do so if she can avoid it. It was fun to see smaller events get embellished into some of the huge events from various myths too.

My big problem with this book, and it really isn't one, is that at one point she is giving thanks to some people that helped her and she leaves out one of the people that helped her the most! As far as complaints go, though, that's a pretty darn minor one.
