Brisies, the main character, has an ability to seek the truth in many stiuations, even though it is beyond tough for her to live in the camp. after her and Amina were caught burying the dead body of their former kind of Troy, Pyrrhus releases all of his anger on Amina, leaving Brisies to understand that she in fact had wanted to die helping her king, rather than live under the rule of those who killed him.

"we women are peculiar creatures. we tend not to love those who murder our families."
At this point in the book, any sort of distraction from the pain outside of the women's hut brings joy to the women of troy. A woman named Maire gives birth to a baby boy, which initially spreads happiness and hope across the hut, but then thyey realize that any boy new born must be killed, as per Pyrrhus's orders.

The hope that emerged throughout this section that i read created a sense of community and enjoyement in the camp, specifically for the women. something that became more clear was how important kind Priam was, to the women of troy, and all of the people that looked up to him. i would really like to know more about who he was, his role in troy, and how he influenced his culture.

the difference in the way that achilles and patroclus and basically all of the men are portayed from "the song of achilles" is quite interesting. even though i loved that book, i am enjoying reading about the women's perspective more now, it feels more genuine and less fantasy like that "the song of achilles".
