This book broke me and put me back together. It’s such a beautiful story, and the writing is just amazing! I couldn’t put it down! I fell in love with the characters and the way that they were perfectly imperfect 💖
This one became one of my favorite books ever. 
Can’t find a single bad thing in here. Prepare your heart if you’re gonna read this. ❤️‍🩹

It is hard to write a book like this. Miller writes a tragedy with a clear and incisive voice, one that makes room for the joy and horror of a life under gods. Made me cry.
