The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

4.5

Excellent retelling of the Trojan War from Patroclus and Achilles' perspectives. I was skeptical of how this book was going to be distinctive from the millions of other Homeric retellings out there, but it surprised me! I really liked the prose. It was a good balance of vivid description without dragging out the plot.
