A review by illiterism
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
3.0
After finishing this, I can conclude that I might not have a heart because this book made me feel nothing.
I don't know. It was beautifully written, and the ending had me pretty gripped with the tension and action. I was just quite bored most of the time though. Patroclus and Achilles both felt very bland to me until the end of the book which I think is why. If I had been more engaged with them and cared about their relationship more, then I reckon I'd have loved it.
3 stars purely because again, it was written so beautifully - I've ended up highlighting a lot of things that sound lovely as standalone quotes.
