Though I started reading this book already knowing some of Achilles’s story, and therefore some of the events that would happen, I never once felt like that detracted from my experience reading it. If anything, it added to it. I was in stitches trying to figure out how certain events would happen. I absolutely loved this book, and finished it in a single sitting.
