I loved this book! I’m a big fan of mythology and romantacy so this was right up my alley. The love story was so precious between Patroclus and Achilles. Of course I bawled my eyes out, how embarrassing. 

In true Greek mythology fashion, it’s dark, gritty, morally gray at times. I think it’s a wonderful retelling of a classic.
