The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

adventurous emotional sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

With the exception of the tenses changing being a little weird, this was incredible. I understand why it's so hyped up and I absolutely loved it. So many emotions, especially in the last third. What an amazing read.
