First, this story finds its flaws, which is its empathy and joins. It shows you the worst of people, then the best, and then worse again. Until you realize you are only human. With each page that goes, a hammer, a chisel hits deeper and deeper, and that everything was expensive disappears. Until finally, Iphigenia stares in the face, grabs the heart and turns. Why do not you feel what you felt? -
The author weaves in silence comes and hooks his imagination almost before you know it. Iphigenia tells the tail of the last two days. His sacrifice to the Greek goddess Artemis is the latest step in a change that wakes you up as soon as her father accepts the deal, her oldest daughter is going to be sacrificed for the winds that transport fleet as it sailed from Greece to Troy.
