Spoilers! I read this because of all the hype. This book was beautifully written but the plot was extremely disappointing. It lacked interesting characters and the love story lasted a bit too long in the beginning. I developed no empathy for anyone. The feuid amongst Agamemnon and Achilles was weak and childish, holding grudges, risking the lives of others. It did not feel believable. I don't believe Patroclus would have done as well as he had in the war there at the end either. I was more angered by his war actions than sad about his death, he was reckless and I felt his death was deserving. This brought the rating down a lot for me.
But, one thing I did like was how she ended it was with Thetis and Patroclus's longing for Achilles. Still, I could not recommend this one.
