Pretty good book. I really liked the first half of the book when we see Achilles and Patroclus learning from Chiron and seeing their relationship bloom. The second half of the book was good but I'm not a huge fan of war books so I didn't enjoy it as much. The last 30 pages were weird because it was in first person narration but felt like third and it was a little confusing. I think this book is a little overhyped and I liked Circe much more but overall this book was good. I didn't cry at the end even though I heard a lot of people have.
