This book has left my heart in pieces. I knew what would happen (Achilles' fate is addressed in this book and I had some vague knowledge of Achilles' story beforehand), but I nothing could have prepared me for the heartbreak and the aftermath. A wonderfully written story of friendship, love, loyalty, pride, and war.
