This book broke my heart and put it back together. Such a strong second half, I think I read the last 40% in one day, but I found a lot of the first half really dragged on. I can see how parts of it were necessary but it could definitely have been cut back a bit. The writing is beautiful, I highlighted so many quotes that I want to remember forever ❤️ also makes me want to read up a lot more on Greek Mythology
