    Three things this book proves:
    Bri is a badass
    Pyrrhus is an asshat
    Pat and Chilles are in love.

    I'm trying to keep my crying really quiet here, but this is seriously one of the saddest things I've ever listened to. I was genuinely shocked when Patroclus died, started panicking when Phyrrus denied him being buried with Achilles and cried when Thetis at long last set him free, so they could finally be together. The goddess, so cold towards matters of men, showed the most humanity in the end. What a brilliant work, I will treasure it forever.

    Three days. My mind was tethered to this narration for three days. My throat clenched at the weight of THEIR story, and your delivery, pace, and voice dragged me through their years on Trojan soils till the final "the end". It was then when my voice scraped my throat as the flustering pressure of grief, relief, and joy escaped me. Seriously... you are amazing!

    I’m on the last chapter, I loved this book and I’m sad that I will never again read it for the very first time I hope one day I forget all about it and that I’ll be able to read it again for the very first second time, even though it made me so sad it was so beautiful I thought a lot about my own mortality and how even though I could live a thousand different lives through books and stories once the books are finished it’s back to my room and I am me again, this sounds so dramatic but I loved this story and the way it felt to be Patroclus. I’m gonna go finish it now ...

    I tried reading this book a couple months ago but I have such a short attention span and it doesn't help that it takes a while to get into the story, but I was determined to finish this book, and today I did, thanks to you. Your audiobook really helped me get back into the book so that I could finish it on my own, so thank you very much. You did a wonderful job and we're all very grateful for the effort you put into making this for us.

    Just finished your audio reading within the past week or two (at least an hour every night be that’s the only time I can make for it) and your voice was wonderful to listen to. I am crying for the ending where the two finally are joined together at last. Having already read this novel years ago and this being my favorite book, I thought an audiobook would be a good idea. Although yours is not an official audiobook, your interpretations of the characters brought them to life more than I could have imagined. The pacing is just right, the emotions you brought through each character, and the way you read it as poetic as Madeline Miller had written it, matched beautifully. I think you should be proud of how well you did.

    Also thank u for making me feel less alone in this journey, stranger :')

    Three years, I have heard of this book and the story of Achilles and Patroclus for three years. I had never been able to read it for myself.
    I then saw the book on the shelf this year, and tried to read it, but alas I cannot read it due to a processing disorder. I then listened to this narration while I slept and dreamed of the story. You have done a fantastic job helping me understand this beautiful story, and I thank you!
