The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

Rating : 3*

Blurb :Set during the Greek Heroic Age, it is a retelling of the Trojan War as told from the perspective of Patroclus. The novel follows Patroclus' relationship with Achilles, from their initial meeting to their exploits during the Trojan War, with focus on their romantic relationship.

Review : It was a promising, start, the build up and set up for these characters. In the end I found myself rushing to finish it because I grew bored of it quite quickly. It focused more on the romance between the characters more than greek mythology. It is a decent read but it isn't worth the hype.
