ridesthesun 's review for:

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
5.0
adventurous challenging dark emotional sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Excuse me I'm broken it's FINE.

I didn't know a lot about this part of Greek mythology, or these characters specifically, but I did know it ended tragically. AND BOY DID IT. But so so beautifully too. 

The simple, brutal prose in this book is so well done. I want to protect Patroclus forever and ever thank you very much.
