The Song of Achilles

Appreciated the linear, somewhat simple flow and quick pace from the beginning. It is also a fast and easy read while also being very well written with good detail. It works really well from the first-person POV and the foundation that this is mainly a love story is established quite quickly, so interested to see where acts two and three head. Definitely some romance novel-esque prose to parts of it, but it also works within the context of the Kings and Gods backdrop and is not overdone. Good enough plot that unfolds, if not a bit predictable, but the escalation and small ‘left turns' worked well in the last 100 pages.
