The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
4.0
Actual rating is 4.5 stars!
This book skirts the relationship between Patroclus and Achilles, from their youth to their manhood. AND IT WAS SO GODDANG POETIC AND BEAUTIFUL. I've never read Miller's books and this was an undeniable gem! The short cutting sentences were a unique style yet it still delivered a great deal of beauty with it. I love this book sooo soo soo much. YOU BETTER READ IT TOO. Also the audiobook is amazing?? I MEAN WHAT A SEXY VOICE FOR A NARRATOR. :>
"A brother-in-arms sworn to a prince by blood oaths and love."I read this book far too long than I usually do, partly because of school, and partly because I wanted it to last. (ALSO ALSO ACTUALLY ACTUALLY I WAS DISTRACTED WITH OTHER BOOKS WHICH IS VALID!) I've plunged into this knowing that I'll get hurt by the end. I've read Iliad a couple of times already in my post-Percy Jackson phase, so I was more than ready. But oh boy, I did not expect to fall in love with Patroclus so dangg hard.
