Axios: A Spartan Tale by Jaclyn Osborn
5.0
This book was just so so good, even if it made me cry. My first warning is that there is no HEA for the characters. But it still is a beautiful story and it’s gonna be one of my favourites.
This story follows the life of two Spartan warriors from their training to their life as soldiers. Axios is more than any Spartan, his mind is not the same and will cause him trouble going through his training. Until he met Eryx who will support and him help during all the steps of the harsh Spartan training, steeping boys from everything they knew to make them strong, intrepid and fierce.
Through this historical romance, it is possible to see the inner fight that Axios lives, but also all the childhood trauma they have to suffer to be accepted and considered as true men.
I couldn’t stop reading, it was just amazing. I loved all the characters and the relationship between Axios and Eryx is so intense, they feel no shame for who they are and who they love. I don’t know if I will read the book from Eryx's point of view yet, because this one really touch my heart and I fear being disappointed. So I will see later, however, I think I will try to buy it in paperback and add it to my bookshelf
