This is still one of my favorite books of all time. It is so well written and such a beautiful story.
Song of Achilles is a retelling of the trojan war from Patroclus’s perspective describing his love story with Achilles. It starts with Patroclus as a child in his father’s court before he is exiled to Achilles’ kingdom after killing someone’s by accident.
Something about this book is perfect summer vibes but at the same time it’s also deeply tragic.
