The best in the series (so far). The love outsider POV of Costis, as we get to watch everyone in the story fall in love with Eugenides (after much suffering and antics). 

I read this book for the first time 9 years ago and I can picture perfectly remember two scenes, which I was so excited to read again. They are just as good as I remember:

 
SpoilerTHE KISS SCENE. And the scene where Eugenides almost falls. The kiss scene is so soft and delicate, in contrast to the violence that just happened and the stress of the moment. And the fall scene, is so terrifying, I love the little moment of the Gods' interventions.
