Elias reviewed The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
My heart
5 stars
I am absolutely sobbing, which I expected. Heartfelt and tragic, as it should be.

Published by Bloomsbury Publishing PLC.
This is the story of the seige of Troy from the perspective of Achilles best-friend Patroclus. Although Patroclus is outcast from his home for disappointing his father he manages to be the only mortal who can keep up with the half-God Archilles. Even though many will know the facts behind the story the telling is fresh and engaging.
