Miller’s prose and her usage and hints to Homer’s text is just *chef’s kiss*

An amazing retelling of Homer’s classics from the Iliad and Odyssey. I enjoyed the love story between Achilles and Patroclus, but also learning more about a Greek classic. A great balance between modern, queer interpretation and classic!

Nicely enough written but just a bit dull, which is an unbelievable comment for a book about Greek mythology and war.
