Original in the plot even though it is a story that has been told several times. Love is treated from the side of admiration. Sometimes too soft but still cute.

Best book I’ve read this year. Hits all the notes and brings new interest for me on a story I have known since I was young

Beautifully written, and I would highly recommend it - 4 1/2 stars, if I could. I had just some issues believing Achilles' reasonings for his love of Patroclus.

Great book. True 5/5. I don't know much about mythology but I felt like I kept up pretty well. Would read again and would recommend. Not much to say here.

I found it a bit hard to get through. It seemed to drag at quite a bit before they get to Troy. In the middle it picked up speed and I was really enjoying it. It is a book that made me cry even though I knew exactly what was going to happen. I can’t wait to read more of her books
