Least fav: Agamemnon - Not slay. Not a girlboss. Killed his daughter. Tried to kill girlboss Brieies.
8.7 - good story. fun gay tragic romance. some dull points but not dull enough to fully take me out of it.
Fave character - Patroclus Least fave - Achilles
Rating - 7.7
Fav character: Chiron for his wisdom and peace in the forest. He leads a life id love to live. Least fav character: Agamemnon for being a disgusting power hungry man who takes advantage of women.
Rating: 7.8
Favorite Character: Achellis. I will not defend his pride or arrogance, but seeing his characterization through the lense of Patoculus did make me fall in love with his character. I also appreciated that he was a complex character and more than just a tradgic hero.Least Favorite Character: Agamemnon. He was essentially the center of all the violence and assaults enacted againest the women throughout the entire book. He killed his own daughter after manipulating her to believe she was marrying Achellis and the deaths of several main protagonists were the result of his actions.
Rating: 9.1. One of the best books I've ever read and I really enjoyed the LGBTQ+ representaiton.
"Achilles smiles as his face hits the earth", will forever be one of my favorite book quotes.
Creating this thread for our seventeenth overall book but our first book of round 5.
