The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

emotional informative sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

this is a well-written book that gave me a lot of lore about achilles and other greek heroes of mythology but the pacing was a little slow (especially in the beginning). the ending had more action for sure and the main characters were very well developed so those are both huge plus points for the book. it did a great job of capturing mythology in a  novel format but i prefer books with more action and plot.
