woah, this sounds so cool. I need to read this.
ooooh, i've been meaning to read it for a while... might give it a shot ^-^
this sounds really cool omg, might just order it today hehe
I've read it and it's amazing. Get prepared to get wrecked. This book really messed me up. Keep the tissues handy. The writing, the story and the characters are so well written. I don't think I'll ever read a book like this. Hope you all enjoy it!
I’ve been meaning to read this book for a while and this is exactly what I needed to finally pick it up! I started it yesterday and I keep picturing the 2004 Troy movie as I read it 😍
I adored this book! This book was so good that it brought me back to my Percy Jackson stan phase and inspired me to read the odyssey (which is much less romantic). The characters are so well crafted and the writing is gorgeous. I'm so excited to hear everyone's thoughts!!
i just started this book and so far its amazing :)
I'll try to get my hands on this online, everyone's been reading it on booktok lol

I'm around 1/3 through, so I haven't gotten to the war yet. So far I'm liking it, hopefully it isn't too bad

Summary:
Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. By all rights their paths should never cross, but Achilles takes the shamed prince as his friend, and as they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine their bond blossoms into something deeper - despite the displeasure of Achilles' mother Thetis, a cruel sea goddess. But then word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus journeys with Achilles to Troy, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.
Profoundly moving and breathtakingly original, this rendering of the epic Trojan War is a dazzling feat of the imagination, a devastating love story, and an almighty battle between gods and kings, peace and glory, immortal fame and the human heart.
