    I love the subtle tremor in your voice when you read Patroclus' lines. ❤️

    This chapter gave me goosebumps, especially when Tetis talked about the prophecy. It was already hard for them already back then. Everything about this chapter makes me want to cry. Everything was helpless. There was nothing that could be done. And to think that they were still kids at that time makes it even worse.
    "Every day without him" 😢
    Ughhhhh Odysseus!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 He had no business talking about their relationship!!!!!!! He makes so mad and it'll get worseeeeeeeeeeee. I swear I can stand Tetis more than him!!!!!!!!
    That ending is one of the most beautiful throughout the book. I had to hold my breath while listening to their conversation.
    Thanks again, you're an amazing narrator! 😢💓

    "He would sail to Troy and I would follow, even into death." I can't take it, the inevitability of it all is just too sad. Patroclus keeps thinking about a world without Achilles. They don't know they don't know they don't know ... People who say knowing what's going to happen or how a story ends will ruin it don't understand shit. Sometimes it hits you harder when you know.

    Odysseus I'm sorry but Agamemnon doesn't deserve your kind words. Couldn't help but chuckle a few times as he lies about how great Agamemnon is. No matter what you say he will still be a pile of trash in the end.
    Great read by the way. I've read it before myself but it's great listening to this as I work.
