Axios: A Spartan Tale by Jaclyn Osborn
emotional
sad
- Strong character development? Yes
5.0
I'm still crying. I expected to cry. I expected death. I didn't expect what I actually read.
It hurt reading this book.
I loved so much each and every character that's been mentioned for most of the story. Axios had a beautiful mind and his curiosity was refreshing.
Eryx tried his best and did everything he could to keep Axios with him, even after making some mistakes.
King Agesipolis, whom we met for a brief period of time, took a piece of my heart too, as did Quill and Theon.
The harshness of Spartan life is clearly depicted here, as we see how training first, and war later, consume a small part of the souls of the soldiers.
Their love was amazing to read, amazing to experience, and amazing to feel. These two are the type of characters that you will keep in your heart forever.
I really enjoyed the small things about the couple that kept coming back, like their secret place, the storytime, or talk about stars.
This book changed me in so many ways, but surely it will leave me for some time with pain in my heart and mind.
I'm not sure if I'm ready, or if I'll ever be ready, to read the story from Eryx's point of view. I mean, it will definitely be interesting, but I'm not sure I can make myself read this again, knowing how it will make me suffer. Maybe, after time alleviates most of the sufferings left by this book, I will give it a try. I hope I will be able to give it a try.
