The Song of Achilles

I decided to read this book after having read [b:Circe 35959740 Circe Madeline Miller https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1508879575s/35959740.jpg 53043399]. It was an enjoyable retelling of the familiar story of Achilles, told from the perspective of Patroclus and focusing on the romantic relationship between him and Achilles. I liked Miller's exploration of the characters' agency, in particular how a hero's decisions, often self-centered and based on pride and “honor”, can adversely affect everyone else. Overall, a great read!
