I read this book in a matter of hours and was hooked immediately. The writing was really good and I fell in love with Patroclus immediately. I would’ve rated higher if Achilles had been a more redeeming character, even though I know it’s kind of the point. Overall I felt like this was a beautiful book that I’ve thought about many times since I read it. Very memorable and definitely lives up to the hype.
