I want to bang my head against a wall. This hurts!!
I feel like my heart aches and I can't think. It's such a peculiar feeling I haven't felt before. Also, this is the first book to get a written review from me! I love it so much!

I won't write this a long review, because I'm just feeling so much that can't be expressed with words.  One thing: Achilles & Patroclus ๐Ÿ˜ I love them, their relationship and their dynamics <3

Hector, you make me feel livid. The line: โ€œWhat has Hector ever done to me?โ€ will haunt me forever. (update: it still haunts me..)
Achilles' mom might be forgiven, but only because of the ending, and even then I still feel that she was, is and will be a bitch :/ I noticed a lot of foreshadowing in the book and afterwards looking through all the marked paged, I laughed at myself. I really didn't know what was coming, did I ?

I really fell down the whole The Song of Achilles rabbit hole afterwards.. even to this day, fanart, fan theories, and posts, noticing new nuances, continue to draw me in.
