Read it very quickly and it was a fun read. Feel like I learned some stuff about the Achilles myth/story. Felt like most of the side characters did not have much personality (but maybe that was part of the point, with the narrator's focus being entirely on Achilles and himself, which was an interesting and useful perspective/effect).
