A review by astrape
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

3.0


I liked it, it made me wanna keep reading Everytime I stopped. But also I feel like not much happened. I expected more due to the infinite amount of good reviews. Also, I didn't fully connect with their relationship as I hoped to, and the time jumps were so many that for me, it weakened the plot a little.
Still enjoyable. Loved the vibes it gave me, because it reminded me of that summer thing I can't explain and it made me so sad.

All of that I wrote before reading the last 3 chapters. I still stand by my opinion but those last three chapters...
It's dumb of me to say it's not fair, but it's how i feel. I'm so angry and so sad. They deserved better. No man holds the violence Pyrrhus does. His attitudes were totally unnecessary. I can't explain how much I hate him. But I guess that's just the difference between someone raised by the gods. A cold, empty soul against a warm one.
