The hype of this was high. Seeing great reviews and positive comments about how amazing the writing was and how sad but good it was.
I’m not gonna lie I only bought it because it was queer and it had Greek mythology in it. I thought despite the angst and it being a historical fiction that I’d like it.
The short review is that I did not like it. I wanted to DNF it so many times but thought maybe I just wasn’t giving it a chance.
I don’t know if it was because of the slower paced chapters or because it was a historical fiction but this book was so boring. I could not wait to be done with it.
I will say the positive about this was that through everything Achilles and Patroclus had a healthy, honest, and trusting relationship for the most part.
And while the ending was sad it wasn’t as bad as I expected. I think that what Thetis ended up doing in the end helped with that. It was the sweetest thing she had done in that whole book.
