This week i was reading Ithaka by Adele Geras. It is very similar to Troy, another book by Geras. They both take place in Ancient Greece. They both involve the members of the royal household. They both concern love, and death and the Trojan War. The characters in both see gods. At some points the books just seem so similar that it is sickening. I'm sure that if i had read them at the same time i would have hated both. I can only hope that as the book progresses, it deviates from its similarity to Troy, and in doing so become more enjoyable to me.
