there were times when YEARS passed in the book, and there were no major developments - plot or character. also, i find the trojan war itself to be boring, so i am not quite sure what i expected getting into this book. i felt that there was little to no character development. patroclus started out weak and submissive, and pretty much ended that was as well. achilles was often seen as stoic and unemotional and was only moved by his grief
i am emotional and a hopeless romantic, so of course i did cry at
overall, this was a bit of a pain to get through, and outside of the love story (as tragic as it was), there was not much substance to it. i am disappointed by the book, but also relieved that it is over.
