INCREDIBLY investing reinterpretation of Achilles and Patroclus (and Briseis!) from the Iliad from the point-of-view of Patroclus. The story begins in the pair's childhood and follows their origins through

their deaths and, in Patroclus' case, a bit further.

Child death refers to

a child bully character that is killed by another child character on accident. It is graphic in detail, but not emotionally overwhelming in my opinion

Beautiful and artistic, made me sob. Also, GAY! Only reason I didn’t score higher was because it was slow and sometimes the characters other than the main two were hard to follow.

LGBTQ+ Frendly is the only bonus and reason for the 2.5 ⭐️⭐️•5 I’m giving if not it would’ve been a 1⭐️. This is the most boring book iv ever read unless you include twilight! Now make it into a movie and I will 100% watch and probably love like I do twilight but the book for me was bland and wasn’t interesting or captivating at all for me it was droning on and on regarding the same shit again and again.
