The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
4.0
I don't read romance novels anymore but MZ recommended me to read this! I wish I stopped reading at the cave scene to preserve whatever remenant of happiness but whatever ... 😔✋ for the reread I guess.
The words that Madeline Miller uses to describe Patroclus' view of Achilles is perfection. Pure love and admiration boiled down into the most beautiful sentences, with language so descriptive and specific you can feel its physicality and the presence of each character. Aside from Achilles and Patroclus themselves the way in which she crafts this mythological world oh my godddd Madeline Miller the woman that you are???
Possibly overhyped but still is a very good book! I would recommend to experience it at least once in your life 🫶
