I laughed. I cried. I fell in love. I cried some more.
I absolutely loved reading this epic story. As someone who knew next to nothing about the Iliad and the story of Achilles, I was excited to open this up. Although this is an old story, it felt very refreshing. Miller did a great job showing the absolute devotion Patroclus and Achilles have for each other. I loved how open they were about everything and how they communicated their feelings and fears amongst each other.
Miller did a great job expressing the different emotions and events that happen throughout a lengthy war. I felt the frustration, fear, anguish, love, commeraderie and absolute agony along with the characters.
Definitely a 5 star read.
