I loved this interpretation of the Helen of Troy mythology and it was cool to see the Minotaur and Atalanta's mythologies mixed in there too. The polyamorous relationship between Achilles, Helen, and Patroclus was suuuuuper fun to read and their triad dynamic was hilarious and cute. Achilles is the bane of my existence and I did not like him at ALL but the way the plot handles his nasty little ego issues is beyond perfect so. Vindication etc. Can't wait to see how the world expands with the rest of the books!
