Finally got the chance to read this after seeing it every time I walked into a bookstore. Overall it was beautifully written and I loved reading the character development (even if it didn't get better for them LOLOL)

Some thoughts (spoilers ahead)
- spent the whole book waiting for Achilles to get dipped
- what the hell is wrong with his son
- I know its greek myth but damn let them be happy LOL
