Despite the short length this had a great impact. I loved the message about feminism and the retelling of a forgotten woman in mythology. I thought Penthilesea was a strong, relatable character, I enjoyed the dual timelines, and I loved how certain things were slightly changed from the original stories, but they helped this version and made it that more enjoyable. I also thought Penthilesea's memories of her deceased friend were incredibly emotional and moving and it did make me shed a tear.
