Verglas reviewed The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

Wonderful romantic interpretation of the Iliad

4 stars

This is a really lovely (re-)interpretation of the Iliad through the lens of romance writing. I really enjoy how the author has made the characters come to life in an unexpected way. Really easy and stress-free read. Absolutely recommend this book.
