 I don't think I can find the words for this book. I started it last night in a fit of insomnia and ended up finishing it within 24 hours. 
 I am not a Classics scholar, but this story was written with the love of one. I am at least familiar with Greek tragedy and the fact that pretty much everyone dies. But man, knowing it did not make it hurt any less. Maybe my ignorance to the story of the Trojan War helped aided my enjoyment. 
 But this story is beautiful. This is a story about fate and war and honor and love. And this story takes your heart and D E S T R O Y S it.
