I can’t remember the last time I cried this much over a book. I am a big Greek mythology nerd so I knew the story and the outcome, but Madeline Miller’s storytelling hits different. Her writing is so lyrical and plays out like a movie in my head
I cannot even come up with words for how much I love this because I’m still crying

My familiarity with Achilles/Troy was surface level. I was a little distracted at first about what's going on and who's telling the tale, but quickly fell into this world Miller painted so well balancing character development and plot progression. Trying to look back and quickly summarize it, it's just a love story with some godly interventions put against a setting of war. The narrator's role is a whole other layer of enjoyment, from a narrative perspective, near the end. I will certainly read Circe based on my experience with this!
