The writing is so beautiful, and the story is immersive. I got lost in this sweet love story. It was captivating! I laughed and cried with the characters. I grieved and cheered. Going into the novel (knowing some Greek mythology), I thought I knew what was coming. I did not. Even though it follows the original mythology, the emotion and depth that Madeline Miller adds is absolutely wonderful.
