The book is easy to read, the writing style captivated me; I sensed the characters emotions..I adored the chemistry between the main leads and could genuinely feel the love. I also enjoyed the character development in particular in Achilles before the war to during the war. I resonated with main lead Patroclus through father-son relationship...of never being good enough.
However, the story did drop new side characters without introduction.
