A review by realalexmartin
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

adventurous emotional sad fast-paced

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

4.0

Madeline Miller has such a way with words. I got so used to the way she wrote her world and her characters that I forgot that not everyone writes like that, not everyone is able to perfectly show what she means with the most correct words. Truly a one in a million writer.
