I loved this book. I’m immediately reading the second part of this duology. I find the concept of soul mates/soul bound to be incredibly romantic and intriguing if done right. This is done so well in this story. You feel so deeply for Adrissu. I just want to wrap him up in a hug and a warm blanket and give him hot cocoa… Even when I knew it was coming, my heart broke. And again. And again I’m sure many more agains before the story is through. Now while not the spiciest thing I’ve ever read, (I’d rate about a 2.5-3 🌶️ on the spice scale) my scale for normal spice response is off I think. The plot is interesting and fast paced. Like a slice of life on fast forward sometimes, and I love that pace. I will be revisiting this author and reading his other works because I really like his writing style. I would recommend this to all my friends, like 1 of my family. 😂 4 stars.

I knew going in that this book was going to be good. Too many people have loved it for it not to be… But knowing that and experiencing it are two different things. This is possibly one of the best books I’ve ever read. Miller’s writing of these characters we already know is absolutely brilliant. I’m in love with Patroclus and his narration style. His relationships with the people around him are vivid and complex. The love story in these pages is one for the ages. They may not be perfect, but together they were spectacular. I’m immediately going out to get Circe and dive back into her writing. Perfect score: 5 stars! Would recommend to everyone!
