Review: The Song of Achilles

The Song of Achilles The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a bittersweet read since, of course, we all know the story of Achilles and how it ends. However, the relationship and love between Achilles and Patroclus, and later, the special relationship with Briseis, is refreshed by an author with a keen eye for bringing the classic characters of mythology alive.

Miller's Circe was one of the best books of the past year and I enjoyed this earlier effort.
