4.0

It is a great book inapired by the Greek Mythology (Homer's iliada).The main theme of the book is the romance between Achilles and Patroclus.
 
I would like Patroclus to be a good warrior from the beggining of the book.He can be a good warrior and also be kindhearted, modest, and honest. I understand that the author wanted to make Patroclus death important and emphasize his heroic spirit and his sucriface for Achilles' legacy but it is not realistic how Patroclus became ao good without training in his last moments...
