The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
4.0
I really enjoyed this book.
It didn’t make me cry, like some said it would. However, it made me feel nostalgic for a time in which I have not lived. The details, the descriptions, it made me feel like I was actually there.
Loved:
- details
- Greek mythology references
- that it’s narrated by Patroclus
- learning of Patroclus before he came to Phthia
Didn’t love:
- the ending felt too rushed almost? A ten year war over in just a couple paragraphs?
- I would’ve liked to know some more about some of the characters and what became of them after the war.
** would not recommend for younger than 13 because of the descriptions in some scenes **
