message 24: by firdous&#x1f49e; (new)

firdous&#x1f49e; | 48 comments what about you?


message 25: by mara (new)

mara | 142 comments Mod
Honestly the Same. In the beginning i had the urge to do like a character List or a family tree to get along with all the characters but its getting easier hahah


message 26: by mara (new)

mara | 142 comments Mod
And i also kind of love how they got along with like how they startend to get to know wach other.

Moreover i think the Time Turns are Chosen very well (so like when its 1 year later or so) That makes Reading easier

mara | 142 comments Mod
oh well… i havent read further than Page 112 im Lettin you know when i have read more


message 37: by firdous&#x1f49e; (new)

firdous&#x1f49e; | 48 comments thats okay, i haven't read at all today


message 38: by mara (new)

mara | 142 comments Mod
Hey here :))
soo today i have read Till Page 154 (Chapter fifteen) and even though it ends really exciting i have to come for an end for taday :/

So as an non-englisch-speaker but englisch-reader this Book is sometimes quite confusing and to me it feels like I dont really understand everything.

For example why patroclus had to sleep with deidameia (the Woman pregnant with achilles Baby)even when she already thought That he would not bring her what she wanted…

Moreover i think i Lost Track of Most the names. For me its quite confusing.

Still…. I really enjoy the Journey of achilles and patroclus. I am so pleased by how they Stick to each other and are inseperable. Like how they Desiree each other and cant without the other <3

I mean patroclus gave (once again a lot of things up) to be with achilles


message 39: by firdous&#x1f49e; (new)

firdous&#x1f49e; | 48 comments i really didnt like that part where he slept with the woman achilles got preganant, i just found that quite weird


message 40: by firdous&#x1f49e; (new)

firdous&#x1f49e; | 48 comments yesss i forget half the names, i only remember achilles patroclus theris and chiron


message 41: by firdous&#x1f49e; (new)

firdous&#x1f49e; | 48 comments patroclus is probably my favourite charcater i love him so much hes just so kind and selfless


message 42: by firdous&#x1f49e; (new)

firdous&#x1f49e; | 48 comments if u dont mind me asking, where are u from and whats your first language


message 43: by mara (new)

mara | 142 comments Mod
Omg yesss! Patroclus is just pure
He has my heart
Maybe one of my favorite characters at all

mara | 142 comments Mod
I am from Germany so german is my First Language but i like Reading in englisch hahah


message 45: by firdous&#x1f49e; (new)

firdous&#x1f49e; | 48 comments i love him, achilles, i dont know enturely why yet, but his charcater i think goes downhill. he strikes me as a little selfish


message 46: by firdous&#x1f49e; (new)

firdous&#x1f49e; | 48 comments thats so cool, ive always wanted to go germany, so can u speak fluent english too?


message 47: by mara (new)
