❝He is half of my soul, as the poets say.❞
I knew the myth. I prepared myself for quite some time before picking this up. I cried in Iliad by Homer, I shouldn't have been surprised when this book hit me and I was left breathless ... crying like a baby at 2 am.
There is not much to say.
I am emotionally unable to form a proper review because I might end up just explaining how great it is or just start crying.
I might or might not be crying right now.
