The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

5.0

A beautiful retelling of the Illiad and an excellent, thrilling, and romantic story of the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus. The story of their love and devotion for one another was gripping and raw; it moved me and caused an ache in my chest with the knowing that they were both to meet a swift (and tragic) end. Thetis' final act of "mercy" towards Patroclus so that he and Achilles may finally rest together was an excellent and touching end to the novel. ♡
