At the young age of seven, Axios began military training to prepare him to bravely fight as a true Spartan warrior. Though this was a rite of passage for boys, Axios wasn’t ruthless but rather someone who contemplated justice and morality. As hard lessons toughened Axios into adulthood, he would fight to death for his loved ones and brethren.

Truly this is not my cup of tea. Truly.
How odd then that I was bewitched by it. I won't say I loved it because I didn't. I was scared and uncomfortable and so freaking anxious but still, I couldn't stop reading and days later I am still thinking about it.
Is the word epic out of vogue? I am so not hip but man, this felt like an epic love story. It was so much more than just that but the foundation was just a truly beautiful story of love.

Amazing!
3.50 for the H/H I have to say that I might have skimmed here and there over some of the battle scene just because I'm not into the Historical part of the book but overall it was good. I liked it not loved it and it wasnt as brutal as I thought it was going to be

An epic historical love story between two young Spartan men. Their story takes us on their journey of finding love, brotherhood, and loyalty in a culture where young boys at the age of eight leave their home and train for the next twelve years to become a warrior.
This story isn’t about the destination but rather all the years in between. Beautiful, heartbreaking, and brilliantly written. Tissues and wine needed.
