did not like it

Disappointing, and honestly a little weird? Only giving this two stars because of the accuracy of actual Greek mythology. Otherwise, it would be one. I cannot understand the hype around this book in the slightest.

SPOILERS

I had to force myself to get through this, none of the characters were likable, the romance was okay at best (if you try and forget the fact Patroclus literally cheats on Achilles on a woman who is carrying Achilles's baby - what the fuck) and the author uses the word 'thick' so many times I actually lost count.
