A world of God's and Monsters

Highly enjoyed this retelling of the myth of Achillies. I love Greek mythology and ledgends, and this is one of my favorite stories. I would have given it five stars but I feel it dragged on some places and I feel the ending was a little rushed after what happened with Patroclus.
I loved that at the forefront this was about the relationship and love between Patroclus and Achillies. A LGBT love story set in a time where Gods ruled supreme. It was a bit difficult watching the boys grow up knowing what happens in the end but it didn't make it any less enjoyable. 
The story of Achillies freshly told and Madeline Miller did an excellent job bringing these legends to life again! I cannot wait to read Circe next!!
