I lost interest the SECOND they both died
I liked only four things in this book:
1. The wee gay bois admitting their love for each other on a mountain
2. Achilles calling patrocles his husband
3. The almighty son of Zeus breaking his own fucking neck falling off a horse (I’m still laughing)
4. Achilles going FERAL after the love of his life died

“madeline miller on how to make your flat characters and ridiculous subplots justifiable with your pretty writing”
this book is hailed as an instant classic and i think it’s taken too seriously. i wouldn’t judge it harder if she didn’t spend ten years writing this retelling. it didn’t make me feel anything, let alone making me cry. i disliked it so much that i don’t even want to consider the positives. 2 stars

My heart is in absolute pieces. I sobbed through the last 5 chapters at least. I literally just finished it and have no other words - too many emotions. Maybe one day I'll be able to put into words the intensity, love, and heartbreak that the author creates through Patroclus and Achilles. This is easily one of my all time favorite books now.
