A tale of loyal lifelong love. My high expectations were pretty much met. 
Very mixed feelings on Achilles, but I loved Patroclus individually and watching his personhood develop into something so kind and deserving. That being said, all the blame fell lopsided onto Achilles and I think it would've been fun to explore Patroclus' flaws too.

3.0

Due to the amount of attention that this book has received I was severely underwhelmed. This book has virtually no depth with characters or plot, or anything. It is extremely hard to connect with the characters and the book felt as if it was private and holding back. There were beautiful metaphors all throughout. However, the only part of the book that I could feel any emotion were the last 30-or-so pages.
