Pretty great retelling of the myth, creative liberties were handled well. I’m not one for romance but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Would’ve been a five star if it weren’t for the Diomedes libel, leave my boy alone >:(

While Madeline Miller’s writing is lush and descriptive, I unfortunately found the first 150 pages to be slow and hard to get through.

My eyes are still puffy and sluggish from grief. From mourning someone whose thoughts and words lived in my head over the past five hours.

Madeline Miller deserves a place amongst heroes like Achilles and Patroclus. For giving a life to their story, for giving us a glimpse into their love. Into the relationship that drove them both. It was beautiful, the way she depicted their slow and easy love. The prose flowed like water in spring: simple and inevitable, without flourish.

Thank you for reminding me of the joy of young love and mythology.
