Exactly my kind of book wow so glad I picked it up

Need to finish this asap I’ve been enjoying

Cried again!

dementia stories always make me so sad I actually cried so hard 😭😭😭

what a concept!

Why is haymitch like the namer of everything and also perfectly doing everything like sorry rooting for him but im waiting for him to flop at least once

What a treat…. Effie, katniss father(?), Lucy gray descendant, life is good

See I had a feeling the prophecy was talking about him…

I hate that this is written from the perspective of Patroclus after everything is over bc it makes me so sad for what is probably going to happen

“I think: how long do we have?” So basically by the end I will be sobbing I fear

“I have given enough to them. I will not give them this.” SCREAMINGGGHH

I’m not even done yet but I got a physical copy bc ik this is going to be a reread. Also I feel kind of bad for deidameia like “his gaze passed over her as if she were not there” MY BIGGEST NIGHTMARE TBH

“The boy reached through to the soul of the world, and saw that it was a part of the soul of god. And he saw that the soul of god was his own soul. And that he, a boy, could perform miracles.” Okay so I actually got chills.

The whole world paragraph about love wowow

“When each day is the same as the next, I’d because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises.” WOAHHHHH it’s not clocking to you that I’m standing on business

Interesting…

Because you are the reason - SO WHAT IF I DIEDDDDDDD

Wow such beautiful descriptions of the surroundings but the FEELINGS. the absolute fear when thetis is around and the comfort when Chiron and Achilles are near. literally amazing it’s like I’m there with them

“I did not care. Not yet.” NOT YET????????

“But is it not a sort of genius to cut always to the heart?” YASSS also they were roommates???

“The sudden swoop of my stomach, the coursing anger” that’s not anger bro you want him

is this doomed yaoi

“Exile might satisfy the anger of the living, but it did not appease the dead” is such a fire line

Bro just recounted stuff that happened but then was just like eh actually idk it was wacky so maybe it wasn’t how it happened. which like lowkey real. also Madeline miller really has a signature style like besides the obvious Greek stuff the way of writing and the perspective is very circe like

I am eating this book alive I need a physical copy because this is def a reread book

“I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I don’t know why I can’t be like normal people.” That’s so real actually

“dry yellows and greens, the orange slant of a tiled roof, a window cut flat by the sun and flashing” yes 100% yes

May this level of intimacy find me one day 🙏
