kategeiger 's review for:
The Song of Achilles
by Madeline Miller
adventurous
emotional
medium-paced
LOVE Miller’s writing. I honestly want to reread this immediately. I enjoyed Circe a little bit more as there were just a few parts of this that dragged for me. This story is such a beautiful portrayal of love. The ending when their souls rejoined made me so emotional. I think anyone that’s been in love could relate to that moment/feeling. I loved the growth we see from Thetus. It’s beautiful how Achilles was born from brutality (and resented because of it) but went on to save countless women from his mother’s fate. We don’t need to be half-gods to be more than our circumstances. The phrase “chafed conscience” really struck a chord with me. I can’t wait to read more from Miller. Bring on Persephone!!!
