I really enjoyed this book! Although, in my opinion, this book is not a good as Circe, miller was able to create a tense and heart wrenching ending of achillies death. Although I new vague aspects of the war of Troy. I was particularly stunned and ingrossed in her twist ending, this story beeing told by his dead lovers soul. Moreover I could hear the brokenness of achillies soul and anguish as agemenomn inferred him to get on with it

A book that is gay, sad, and has mythology sounds like a book written specifically for me. The Song Of Achilles is the retelling of Achilles and Patroclus and their life-long relationship. The writing is very detailed and emotional. The only complaint I have about is that the pacing was really weird and uneven.
