I read this book, after many years of not actively reading, on a train and a plane and something about the journey I was taking aligned with the journey of this book. I was at equal parts joyous, filled with tension, heart wrenching sadness, and grief. This book deserves all the praise it has ever been given and I will read whatever Madeline Miller gifts to us.

The book I recommend to everyone! Even if you are not a fan of sci fi, you will enjoy this book and the series!

This was a very good book that speaks to loss and love in a way that I think everyone can experience. The understanding that in a moment of grief, pain, and injustice what your heart may seek will not bring you the relief that you seek, but can instead inflict your pain on so many others was very well illustrated. Parts of this book were a bit slower, and other sections moved very quickly. Overall I would recommend it!
