Omg… I was brought to actual tears with this book and I am not ok. Miller is able to use Greek mythology not just in a stunning and creative way, but she makes it so accessible and readable. It was so fun to read because the plot was never stale. Something was always happening or about to happen. The characters are all amazingly written. The romance is well done.

the way she captured the relationship after each other’s death was so good!! I hate it when the story ends with one of the love interests dying but I know it was necessary here. However, she still captures it in a way that didn’t leave me angry at it. I don’t know it was just amazing
