I have to say that this book was an excellent read! It has been awhile since I have so enjoyed a story such as this!

Circe was better. Patroclus and Achilles personality falls flat. Odysseus as definite standout. I wasn’t convinced of the love story. I wonder if it has to do with the author lack of direct experience in this. If you don’t know The Odyessey, I can see why this story is shocking. But it’s dull retelling of Homer’s tale.

This sure is very different from the Achilles and Patroclus I know!
Snoozefest honestly, and no it wasn't sad just boring and it dragged on way too long.
