This book is often described as a tearjerker, however as a regular crier, it did not move me. Enjoyed the first half a lot, the second half was a bit slow. Glad I read it, but no desire to re-read.

Incredible book to read with my partner, took a couple of weeks of 15 minutes in the mornings. As two greek mythology nerds we appreciated the interpretation, and even though we knew the outcomes Miller writes tension and intrigue so well that we were still captivated and holding on with baited breath.
