LOVE Miller’s writing. I honestly want to reread this immediately. I enjoyed Circe a little bit more as there were just a few parts of this that dragged for me. This story is such a beautiful portrayal of love. The ending when their souls rejoined made me so emotional. I think anyone that’s been in love could relate to that moment/feeling. I loved the growth we see from Thetus. It’s beautiful how Achilles was born from brutality (and resented because of it) but went on to save countless women from his mother’s fate. We don’t need to be half-gods to be more than our circumstances. The phrase “chafed conscience” really struck a chord with me. I can’t wait to read more from Miller. Bring on Persephone!!!

Slower paced than my typical read, but so well written and I felt so completely transported into the story! The characters were everything, absolutely obsessed!
I honestly went into this completely clueless and having no idea how it would end because I am completely unfamiliar with the mythology and the related classics- and oh boy was I in for a surprise! But I'm honestly glad about it because I reckon that made it hit just that much harder!

Ever experienced the need for a 'cry break'? I hadn't until this book came along. There was a moment where I simply had to set it down and let the tears flow. It's an absolutely delightful read; I adored every moment of it. Hands down, it's the finest book I've ever encountered. It encapsulates everything I crave in a story: longing, love, grief—all masterfully penned. A solid 10/10 from me; I'd give anything to experience the feeling of reading it anew :)

I was glued to this one, the pages flew by! What a beautiful love story. It captured something real and relatable. It was romantic and didn't make excuses - it respected the love felt between the two min characters and all of its many complications. What a great addition to a well known story.
