This is a deeply queer, complicated, emotional roller coaster. It's like a dream fantasy packed with a bunch of emotional gut punches. I love that in this retelling Helen's agency is not only restored but that she leans into her evil witchy ways. Achilles is like a bag of ugly flaws in a trenchcoat but she is still a bad ass demigod and finds ways to keep surprising us.
