A beautiful and haunting read

I read this in one sitting, it was that good. I felt the writing was beautifully done and kept me turning the pages, even when nothing particularly exciting was happening. There’s a section of the book told by Odysseus in a creative way that really set the atmosphere. This is one of my new favorite books, and I’m going to read this over and over in the future.
