A review by tabatha_shipley
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
3.0
What I Did Like:
+Lyrical, which is wonderful because it matches the title and also gives the exact vibe you want for the subject matter.
+Achilles is projected in an interesting way. We keep the same cocky, self-assured character we’ve read about in other works but get a slightly softer view of him we don’t always see. It feels more balanced, making it easier to see why he’s lovable.
+Patroclus is painted in a good light. He’s often portrayed as weak. I liked seeing his strengths highlighted.
Who Should Read This One:
-Fans of Greek mythology who want that “other take” on the myth.
-Anyone who wants a light introduction to Greek mythology or legends can start with Achilles. He’s an interesting character and his story is relatable.
My Rating: 3 Stars
