A review by thatgirlwho_reads
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

5.0

This book is so perfect. So beautifully written, and so heartbreaking. I could not stop reading. I want to read it over and over to let the words sink in. There were so many gorgeous quotes I lost count. I was worried it would not be worth the hype and yet somehow it exceeded my expectations. I experienced so many emotions reading this story. As someone not well versed in greek mythology, I went into this blind and for this reason I was totally captivated. I never thought war stories would be my preferred genre but this was so much more than this and I am so in love with these characters and their story.
