Ugh, this book was depressing as hell. And bland as.
There was no difference between the action sequences, the romantic bits, the info-dumps of time passing.
There was no difference between Pyrrhus’s deeds and the cooking of lamb.
For the life of me I do not understand why people are raving over this book. I had such high hopes given my newfound interest in mythology but this would’ve been enough to kill it dead had it been the first one I read.
