this book is so wonderful it's probably one of the best books ive read. Madine Miller is a genius and her writing is so poetic and beautiful and she can evoke emotion effortlessly. this book is a masterpiece and so emotional. the concept of the book is so interesting and beautifully written. the characters are perfect and i adore them. the ending broke my heart into a million pieces and I don't think i will ever recover but it was worth it.

good bood, good story, super sad last chapters that had me absolutely weeping, but sadly didn't really catch me or held me captive, personally didn't love the writing style, simply didn't keep me hooked eventhough it's a good book

second time reading. started at 4:30, just finished at 11pm. knackered but damn. it’s a beautiful book if i just. ignore the original source material. some great, Great lines tho and it’s a book that was very necessary to be written even if me and how some of the women’s plot lines in this don’t get on
