I think this was far too short for me to get a good idea of how to rate this, but I think it deserved more time for that story and the characters to come into their own. For me, it felt rushed and the characters weren't quite as rounded as I expected them to be. I liked it, sort of, but something about it didn't completely satisfy me.

I love Madeline Miller’s writing so much. It’s beautiful and I would get it injected into my veins if I could.
