I absolutely loved this book. Miller definitely knew how to convey every little thing about all of her characters. This book was so sad, yet so beautiful. It ripped my heart into pieces. It was written so powerfully, with all the tension, and the feelings between Achilles and Patroclus. And the ending, ugh. So worth the read.
