A review by sara_m_martins
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
5.0
as i'm sitting here trying to write a review, the only thing that occurs to me is "i have no words"
this book broke me in the best way, the way that books manage to do.
it's the opposite of Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe and, yet, it is so close to it they could be brothers, even twins.
Ari&Dante will put your heart back together again, while this book will smash it apart. but they both speak of the same type of love, of love that feels written by the gods or the universe. of love that will live beyond all that. TSOA will break your heart but also leave it at rest, certain of love that the gods cannot control.
and, as representation tends to do, it gives you a much necessary feeling of hope and possibility.
****
also finishing it 24 hours after Avengers: Endgame was not a wise decision
