This book made me so sad. This is my second book diving into Greek mythology, and oh my god was it full of fate.
I teared up towards the end. The book is written so well each line feels so poetic, it was amazing to listen to.
Props to Frazer Douglas, the narrator of the audiobook. This is the best audiobook I've ever listened to! The voice acting was phenomenal, I was instantly pulled into this world watching Patroclus and Achilles grow up together. The emotion was absolutely riveting. This is a prime example of what great audiobooks sound like! It was theatrical, dramatic, NOT CORNY!! What a slay, Frazer Douglas!
I had to read this before watching the tv show because the tv show trailer looked really good!
It was so hard to finish this book, no shade to the author, but I don't recommend this for the baddies bad at history/politics
(Read this book years ago in high school, recommended by my cousin)
I absolutely loved this book, the topics of anthropology and sociology fascinate me. It was interesting to see how the researcher viewed the world prior to the visit (ethnocentrism) and this slow uncovering of the magic through the lens of cultural relativism, the studying of their culture, it was all so fascinating to me.
I was perplexed by the ending, I forgot some key points but I'd read this again!
