I was surprised how much I liked this incredible book given my lack of knowledge about Greek mythology. A thrilling page turner, a love story and epic, vividly written battles.

oh my god. This book gives a glimpse of Greek mythology that you don't see in many books, it's truly intriguing and amazing. It truly shows that this is much more then your normal brotherly bond between two guys. A love story between an exile and a prince... thousands of emotions are tied into every chapter. I was in tears by the end of the book.
