Blackships before Troy

We just started to read this book, and so far it's okay... The thing that's

bothering me is the lack of details. (I guess that's how you can say it.)

The long timeline, (maybe around 15 years already passed) and the many names, make following kind of hard. There was already a war, and it lasted for 11 years! (I don't think it even ended yet.) The war was started by a prince from Troy that stole a princess of another country, that was already married, and even though they both loved each other the husband, that was also the king, didn't like it at all and declared war.

I also have a picture of the cover over to the left.

( I think we're on page 23)
