Madeline Miller
4/5 stars
Song of Achilles is a retelling of Achilles' part in the Trojan war, narrated by friend and lover Patroclus. I was not particularly impressed with Miller's interpretation of the child Achilles, and I felt that her romance-telling skill was weak. However, once Troy was reached, Miller's writing improved and she told the story excellently, with especially good use of metaphor and simile.
