Nice, adorable story about the blossoming romantic relationship between Achilles and Patroclus. Nonetheless, given the sheer number of side characters in this book, it bothers me that they don't feel human enough. I must say that even Achilles don't feel fleshed out enough. Meanwhile, Patroclus (the narrator) is very fleshed out, so in this aspect, the contrast between Patroclus and other characters are so jarring. There's just something missing from the novel. I like the ending!
