If you're a fan of Madeline Miller's Song of Achilles, you're going to want to read this book! The story of Icarus & Helios was so good. I loved their interactions & their love & care for each other. Icarus was such a strong character dealing with so much & he handled it so well for his age. I loved watching him learn how to navigate his friends & his dad & Helios. I listened to the audio & the narrator Kirt Graves did such a fantastic job, it kept me invested the whole time.
