Remembering how much I loved this the first time I read it 🥹 I relate to Circe on a level I can’t even put into words

“Achilles killed Hector, and after, when Achilles’ son, Pyrrhus, stormed the palace, he took the child Astyanax and smashed open his head. It was a horror, like everything Pyrrhus did. But it was necessary. The child would have grown up with a blade in his heart. It is a son’s highest duty to avenge his father. If he had lived, he would have allied men to his side and come after us.” Read. This. Book.

THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD!!!!!!! Trying to pace myself because I can already feel the book hangover coming when I finish it 😞

“I had stood beside my father’s light. I had held Aeëtes in my arms, and my bed was heaped with thick-woolens blankets woven by immortal hands. But it was not until that moment that I think I had ever been warm.” Had to update my progress and say THIS BOOK IS SO BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN!
