This book has made my Latin lessons so much better because we’re studying the Aeneid and even though he technically doesn’t feature in it every five seconds one of us just yells

PATROCLUS or AGAMENDNEMON

or any other character in an attempt to pretend we know about mythology

I fucking hate Achilles. Patroclus is so wholesome and wonderful. The pacing was a bit all over the place and I didn't feel like the relationship was a two-way street but this story is beautifully done and I'm glad I finally read it.

i don‘t think i have ever cried this much while reading a book before, my heart hurts so bad. i am utterly devastated, and i cannot find the words to describe how incredibly heartbreaking, and yet stunningly beautiful this book was.

I am sorry to say this, but I was pretty disappointed by this book. It started well but it got worse and worse and I did not find the ending THAT sad or satisfying. I think I would have enjoyed this book more if I read it in english but I decided to read the Finnish translation and it was not great. It felt like the translator took few scenes which she focused a lot on and put all her effort on and everything else she just put in google translate.
