maybe i am biased with my love of this book because of my religion (i am a hellenic polytheist) but nonetheless i love this book, i love that at the back of the book it has explanations of where some story arcs came from (more books added to my tbr honestly). i cried right at the end (but i will not spoil it). the pacing was wonderful and it allowed me to connect with the characters.

lots of quotes were highlighted because they were just beautiful. this book has kick-started my love of reading again!
