i adored this book, madeline miller's writing style is breathtaking. i had never read her style before therefore, the begining of the story took me some time to comprehend. patroclus and achilles were engaging characters, their relationship blossomed and i loved the love story between them. i cried at the ending of the book, i already have one of her books "circe" in my cart waiting to purchase.
