Welcome to Litsy!

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.

My father was a king and the son of kings.

I have not been on Litsy in a few years. But, I am post spinal surgery so what should I do, but read and return to the community that I adored, adored me, and then I abandoned. I just found myself at a place where I couldn't read. I'm going to have to thank Fourth Wing and ACOTAR for the past few months.

My next read - The Song of Achilles.

Beautifully written. It's my 2nd from this author, amd while I didn't love it as much as Circe, it was still a great read! This was my July #Doublespin. @TheAromaofBooks

One from my Troy collection. A favorite topic of mine.

Ok so I love mythology. Was this retelling needed? Now I have read the reviews and I‘m thinking we need to bring back mythology so that we don‘t have to reread stories in a way that are kind of ridiculous? Anyone else feel this way…I did like the story as a whole but the “added” aspects?!

3/5 stars
The first half had me thinking this would be a 4.5 star read, unfortunately the second half was really boring and disappointing. The ending picked it up a lot and had me tearing up, but on the whole was quite slow and not what I expected
