The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

3.0

i was promised i would cry. very disappointed. the beginning was interesting because i don’t think there are many stories about patroclus and achilles as lovers but their relationship as kids. the way the story was weaved together was executed really well but as it got closer to the second half of the book, it just felt flat because i already knew what was going to happen. superb writing!! it fit the story and theme really well. i did like the ending but i don’t think it deserves all the hype it gets.
