Young Helen of Sparta (not yet "of Troy") disguises herself as a boy and joins Jason and his Argonauts on the quest for the Golden Fleece. Someone who's more interested in Greek myths would probably like this more than I did. (  ) readinggeek451 | Jun 13, 2009 |  I really enjoyed this sequel extending Helen of Troy's adventures that involve the quest to find the golden fleece, fending off an intolerable suitor, and overcoming the loss of more than one good friend. Overall, an enjoyable read with lots of adventure. (  ) knielsen83 | Mar 5, 2009 | The thing I find most satisfying with Nobody's Princess and Nobody's Prize is how well Friesner develops the characters - they seem so real and human, instead of idealized heroes and figures that myths have made them to become. What fascinates me is that the characters are also aware how great and fantastic their names have become, how wildly exaggerated their deeds can grow, how greatly distorted their adversaries become. My major disappointment is that a third book seems unlikely. Friesner tidies everything up and sets the stage for the events that will lead into the Trojan War.
