Even knowing the story of Patroclus and Achilles in broad strokes, i was gripped by the incredible storytelling. The role of legacy and memory in the story was done exceptionally well. the roots of the story shone in a retelling with modern sensibilities intertwined with in. This work is an incredible achievement in writing and adapting a story that for many exists only as a footnote in the large story of the trojan war.

This book was a rollercoaster. Thought the start to like the last 100 pages was normal a little unhinged but fine but then the last 100 pages was just blood sweat and tears I was literally crying like a baby. I love this book so much
