It’s been a while since I’ve put a book on a DNF list. I tried so hard to enjoy this one but the characters feel so flat and uninspired. I couldn’t care less if they live or die and don’t care to listen to find out if they do or not. The narration is very flat and there’s not much tone difference between characters. As for the writing itself, it reads like a children’s book. Take a shot every time they use “said” instead of literally any other dialog descriptor. I’m glad that others have enjoyed this book but I was unfortunately not one of them. This book had potential, but was poorly executed.

I am already looking forward to a second listen to this one. It captivated me and left me desperately searching for more and more and more. It captures topics of gender and religion in such a perfect way that’s it’s obvious it comes from a place of experience and isn’t just another novel marketed towards lgbt kids with a lot of overused tropes and stereotypes. This book is everything to me and I will definitely be buying a physical copy as well.

While the story itself is really great and kept me interested throughout, the narrator does a horrible job of making me feel truly immersed. There’s monotone speech throughout, and the way he doesn’t even pretend to try to add any sort of musical lilt to his voice when reading lyrics makes the audio novel fall so short. When he simply read “la la la la la” out the way someone would read a list, I almost cackled.

I've come back to this again and again and cannot get enough of it. It's written and narrated so beautifully. It's worth noting, though, that this is a romantic retelling of the Trojan War. It does bother me just a touch that Patroclus is made weaker / younger / more self conscious than his namesake from the source material, but this novel is so lovely and I love the way everything is weaved together.

Absolutely loved this story and the family dynamics between Fae king and human son. The love and sacrifices one gives for their child. Loved it so much I also went and ordered a physical copy!
