The pacing was appropriate since there was a lot of information to set down in a new world but also it showed the relationship between Patroclus and Achilles which was also really important. I enjoyed hearing about their unbreakable bond throughout everything that was thrown at them.

I expected this to break my heart and it didn't (probably because it is a retelling of a story I already knew). However, this was still a very well written, beautifully crafted novel. I adored the character progression and the detailed research.
