It’s possible I’m biased because of some circumstances in my life + how bad the last book I read was, but I’m enthralled.

The prose is gorgeous, and the romance is incredibly gripping. I love how the author tries to point out the pitfalls of toxic masculinity through the lens of the Iliad.

Patroclus is not a complex character, but somehow I don’t mind. The characterization works for me as part of an epic.
