The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern is absolutely freaking amazing. It was the first book that got me back into reading this year after not finishing a novel for a couple of years.
After the Night Circus, I read The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller which was another freaking amazing novel.
I highly highly recommend both. Especially The Night Circus. I was so into the world created in that novel that I was googling it afterwards to find websites or blogs about it to keep me in that world, and I found that people throw entire parties dedicated to The Night Circus book!
I recently read Song of Achilles, and found it quite ahem enjoyable at parts.
It retells the story of Achilles, from the point of view of Patroclus. And this time, there's no beating around any bush, they are doin' it.
(There aren't that many scenes, though.)
Thanks for the recommendation. I will have to check it out.
I was also thinking of books to go along with the game and came up with these.
A really good gay romance story is the song of Achilles.

The Song of Achilles
"Betrayal, ardor, war, and prophecies--in The Song of Achilles, author Madeline Miller brings together everything I love about The Iliad without the labor of epic poetry. In this new twist on the Trojan War story, Patroclus and Achilles are the quintessential mismatched pair--a mortal underdog exiled in shame and a glorious demigod revered by all--but what would a novel of ancient Greece be without star-crossed love? Miller includes other good tragic bits--foreknowledge of death, ruthless choices that pit pride and reputation against the lives of innocents, the folly of men and gods--and through her beautiful writing my spine chilled in the presence of Achilles’ mother, the sea goddess Thetis, and I became a bystander in the battlefield of Troy awash with blood, exaltation, and despair. The Song of Achilles infuses the essence of Homer with modern storytelling in a combination that is utterly absorbing and gratifying--I can’t wait to see what Miller tackles next. --Seira Wilson "
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller - this is a fantastic, deeply moving love and war story that focuses on a gay couple.
