The book was so incredibly written omg, the romance between patroclus and achillies was so beautiful and had me sobbing. The way patroclus described achillies gave me chills in the best way possible. The side characters also served great purpose in building up the story even without having much depth about them, they all felt very human, even the gods. A lot of people did not like the book but I know a lot did and I am one of them !! Please read it at least once, it's an unforgettable experience .
