My first re-read in over 10 years and it is still just as beautiful and life-changing for me as the first time.

Miller’s prose is out of this world, I knew nothing of mythology my first time reading, TSOA was the key that unlocked the writer in my tiny little brain. She will always be one of my biggest inspirations. I know the story will long outlive this world, and I’m so thankful I’m in the same timeline.
