I loved this book for its simplicity. The places narrated in the book are perfectly descripted, they immediately take place in your mind. The story between Patroclus and Achilles is so dramatic and involving. I’ve read this book probably ten times and I’ve cried every single time.

Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles.

Stephani 15 agosto 2024Cried for the first time because of fictional characters
This book is a realm in which you will fall in love with two greek well known men, they will hold you captive in their warframe story and let you drown as you read the final pages. The start of the book is very hard to stick to as it is very boring but as it goes on, it grabs it's own momentum with the chain of events and their consequences. Worth the read, and worth the experience.
