I'm such a greek mythology nerd and I studied the odyssey and the aenied in college - this was such a loving retelling of Achilles and Patroclus's story. I'm now going to go play Hades to see them together in the afterlife and feel better

Honestly, going to the library is bringing me such joy! This is another library book that I've finished and it was really good. I've been super tired and grumpy as last couple of days and going to the library today just really perked me up ❤️

"Love" is a word often hyped, yet underrated. It's ambiguous, open to interpretation, but the feeling—the tightness in your chest—remains the same. When I was reading this book ,I I truly felt love in words , not a typical romantic but love in its purest form . Patroclus and Achilles are the main characters, but it‘s their deep connection, their emotions, that truly take center stage, making their love unforgettable.❤️❤️

The tender love story between Achilles and Patroclus was inspiring and lovely. At times, I found myself thinking these things really happened, as if it was written as historical fiction. Did Thetis, Apollo, and Artemis really involve themselves in everyday lives? Then, my conscious mind returned to reality. I completely forgot that they were characters of Homer. That is powerful writing.
Ms. Miller, hurry and get better.

Her writing is exquisite.

AmyG I adore her writing. Sadly she has serious long covid so I don‘t know when we will get another book. 😞 3mo
Butterfinger @AmyG that breaks my heart. I was getting ready to Google. I have already read Circe. 3mo
AmyG She wrote an article about her journey with long covid and yes, it‘s heartbreaking. I am sure you can find it on google, if you want. 3mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @AmyG I just read it… so sad 😞 3mo
AmyG @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks She is so talented. I am not sure how much she can even write. (edited) 3mo
