Nobody's Prize

The sequel to Nobody's Princess, followed 14 year old Helen of Troy on an adventure with Milo. Disguiseed as a boy, board the Argos with her brothers and other crew members. Everyone found out that she is a girl when her womanhood started and I love how it was written. Saying "No longer a girl, now a woman." Talking about what had happen to her and that now she is no longer rule by the moon, the moon rules her. I thought how it was written was well done and it was obvious what had happen. Now everyone know she is a girl. Her brothers know that she is her sister. But she took a name of another girl she ones knew so now one else know she is the princess. I love the friendship of Helen and Milo. From the first book when she freed him from being a slave to this book. Even though I knew from the myth that they aren't meant to be together, I still wanted them to end up together. They made it to Athens where Helen and Milo met the prince and his mother. The prince was Agamemmon who is her future husband from the Helen of Troy myth. She have also reignited with her father and sister. Milo left for an opportunity and it was reveal to Helen that Milo likes her more then a friend. (I had a feeling). But Helen didn't feel the same way. She was still sad that Milo left without saying bye. Luckily in the Epilogue, she does see Milo again a year later. Milo came to see Helen with news about her future. In the end they mention the golden apple that will start this whole thing with Sparta and Troy. I was really into both of these books and I was able to finish this one last week so I can bring it back to the library in Auburn. I would like to read more books from the author of these books. They were really well done and I loved the characters. I know more about Ancient Greece and mythology. It was very interesting to write about Helen of Sparta before the myth and really get to know her. She was a bad ass.
