The Song of Achilles | Madline Miller | 2.5 | 2025-03-22T00:00:00.000Z | https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/9202845d-26cd-4a85-b15f-408116117028 | https://cdn.thestorygraph.com/m8cw3kb3qx4h2jl8kg0u4m3txhie | fiction, fantasy, romance |
This one really tailed off half-way through. I found the characters very one-dimensional (Patrcolus pines after Achilles, Achilles has muscles and can swing a sword fast), but the story took me at least up until the half-way mark. Weirdly I wasn't interested too much when the actual Iliad story line started to get going - maybe because I've heard it a million times before - and their essentially non-existent romance (more accurately an inch-deep obsession, I'd argue) didn't exactly inspire me to carry on reading.
