[tries not to let out a sob of anguish but fails] The Song of Achilles comparisons were so wild because i find She Who Became The Sun much much better. the perpetual sense of unbelonging, gender dystopia, hidden homoerotic desires, brutality of the war, overcoming against the heavens itself. oh, this book was everything. someone preserve it in the museum.
