If I gave Circe a 4, then this must be a 5.
I'm not much interested in commentary on the "historical inaccuracies" to Homer's Iliad, as that's the beauty of a retelling - to delve into a new perspective and storyline. To entertain "what ifs."
And I found this retelling quite well done. In fact, I found much of it beautiful.
I loved reading from Patroclus' eyes and thoroughly enjoyed a new, softer side to Trojan War hero Achilles.
