Though it fits the style and I understand what the author went for at times it does drag on a bit too much.

It is good, yes. and the writing is amazing but like idk. it didn't knock me out like everyone claimed it would. maybe the hype ruined this book for me. And though I knew how it would end because I was familiar with the actual legend I still couldn't help but feel like the ending was unsatisfactory.

  
Spoiler also. seriously. why the fuck did patroclus fuck the girl or achilles wife I fucking guess. seriously why the fuck did he do that.
