hrcheese 's review for:

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
5.0
“Why would I kill Hector? What has Hector ever done to me?”

Just reading this line gives me all the feels again. What a breathtaking book!

Romance isn't really my thing, so I was a little bored until about 1/3 into the book
Spoilerwhen the dancer is revealed to be Achilles
. I'm not sure why that specific scene was the turning point, but it was like a switch being flipped. After that, it was glorious. I rooted so much for Achilles and Patroclus! I completely broke down at the end. The thought they would be separated for eternity was heartbreaking.
