This was a lovely story. I am a huge fan of Greek history, so it took me awhile to warm up to the ideas in the novel. But, the battles and tension are well written and the characters are very loveable. 
The relationship development through the novel is really well paced and never feels out of place.
A really good read

this book deserves every last piece of praise it is sung: it’s wonderfully written and it depicts a classic tale. it didn’t destroy me emotionally (although i’m sure i’m still recovering from a little life) but it was good. reading about love is always refreshing & it’s so wonderful to know people feel similar things that i feel towards dan. (tacky i know)

i really enjoyed it!!

This was a quick and easy read, but I felt a bit let down. I do think that was mostly because my own high expectations, which were never achieved.
