The story would have benefited from extending the journey by introducing the characters to additional challenges and situations to develop their abilities, relationship, and reputation. A lot of what you would expect to come in the backstory of one of the greatest hero (Training, struggling, initial adventures) is completely absent. This results in Achilles being a literal Marty Stu where he is just the best only because he is the son of a god not because he learned to develop those skills or struggled at all. Later in the book he is referred to by everyone as the best of all Greeks despite the fact that nobody has any way to know this since only a few people have ever seen him fight. This breaks the realism and leaves the reader feeling like they missed something but it just wasn't written.
Despite all of this I still enjoyed the story overall and found it to be an interesting attempt to revisit a classic and show the characters in a new light. I just wish it was done a little better.
