There is some mlm sexual content but it’s not done in a way that is overly graphic or titillating because neither is the point of the scenes it occurs in.eliya's review against another edition

✅ sobbing many times
✅ yearning
✅ i will be thinking about this book for a long time
✅ i am a love and my love is my love we are two beams of light connected to eachother
✅ love is beautiful
❌ the war bit was hard for me to get through, felt really slow from that 50-70% mark but i’m so glad i persisted
this book is so beautifully written
i’ve discussed the similes and metaphors painted in this with friends, and we all craved figs after this
i want to experience live with the same absolute mindfulness as patroclus does
i could re read the first 50% and the last 10% of this book over and over and over again
edit: this book = unreal unearth hozier album

I knew this book was going to be great, but great is an understatement. Madeline Millers writing is so beautiful and poetic, one of the best I've ever read. The author was so committed to showing that Achilles and Patroclus had more than just a brotherly bond, it was a bond of love, honesty and understanding. An exile and a Prince growing together, skilled in the arts of war and medicine, and staying at one another's side through everything. This book is so heart felt and heart breaking. In the end, it is known that there love mattered more to eachother than anything else and it is accepted and respected. The world of Greek mythology is built wonderfully also. I urge anyone and everyone to read this book ❤️
