Loved this book. I love Greek Myths and I love the gods and the hero’s. But I must say this book is book is very historically accurate, in some places. The amount of murder, violence and violence against women is crazy and almost put me off the book. But the love between Achilles and Patroclus is honestly the only thing that makes me believe in love.
