There is so much emotion in this book; at it's core, it's about Icarus learning to let people in and lean on them when he needs help. His and Helios' relationship is raw and emotional and definitely one of the strongest aspects of the books. But so are the friendships that Icarus makes with Luca and Celestina. Icarus goes through it in this book, and shows that it is okay to be vulnerable at times.
If you like Greek mythology inspired books, I'd definitely recommend checking this one out!

beautifully written, impactful story and memorable characters!
filled with heartbreak and hope, love and loss and hate and grief and dreams.
a story that has LGBTQ+ characters, chronic illness rep and so many other representations and moments that are beautiful!
