natinthehattt 's review for:
The Song of Achilles
by Madeline Miller
honestly very good, i can certainly see what the hype is about. to preface i also have a limited knowledge of greek mythology, but from what ive read this is pretty lore accurate. im glad the author stayed with the Homer era depiction of Achilles’ power/mortality too. i was hooked from the very first chapter, the pacing was good and the writing itself is just great. i think the time skips especially are executed well because it doesn’t feel as if anything had been missed, and it was so cool to watch the characters grow and change over the years. also very important of course to showcase a very obviously queer relationship in greek mythology that has been ignored/forgotten by many. this book really captures the subject of love in such a wholesome yet devastating way, i will be thinking about this for a bit.
