If I could rate this beyond 5 stars - I would in a heartbeat. If you're a fan of Greek mythology, this is definitely a must read. This had me enraptured from the first chapter. I loved how we got to see Achilles through Patroclus's eyes - get you a man like him for sure. I loved their story and this is a sad tale but in the best way. Prepare yourself to feel emotions all over - this is a journey worth taking!
