finished in four hrs while playing minecraft …… and let me just start by saying so much darker than i would have ever expected.. the movie really doesn’t do it complete justice,,,
although my judgment is very clouded bc of the movie i still really enjoyed this book and this new look into this world, i do think some things could have been zeroed in on a little more and had more detail to them but at the same time the subtleness of it adds to the eerie vibes….

really and truly adored this book, i love how simple the plot seemed in the beginning but then as it gets more into the world building and the actually WRITING it takes a completely different path every chance it can, was unlike anything i have ever read and to find out it was inspired by the princess bride made soo much sense and made me even more fond of it. 
blown away by Brandon Sanders writing and can whole heartedly say it lives up to all the hype!! enjoyed sm and will be reading more by him for sure

i love women, i love women, i love reading of their tribulations and bearing the weight of the words we were allowed to speak for so long. 
this book felt so raw and real with the trauma, the adaptation, the grief, and all the compassion shared.
it was written and executed so well and a much needed perspective put into the story of achilles, although it did love the subtle hint at SOA at the very end. 

“No, they’ll go for something altogether softer. A love story perhaps?”
