The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
3.5
It did no service to this book, a forerunner to Circe, that I had already read that myth take. Miller's writing is better in Circe, with a style of dialogue and language that I found myself mimicking in my everyday life for a week after finishing it.
Song of Achilles has an achy-breaky gay-love awakening that's well handled and honest, and it cycles among Olympian and mortal characters with un-confusing aplomb – no small feat. It just did not move me or envelope me in its story in nearly the same way. Looking forward to what she pens next.
