Song of Achilles

I must say, I was a bit sceptic at first. Retellings sometimes add fictional things to them and I’m not a big fan of that. But this one is wonderful. There is no “nonsense” , you can tell Madeline Miller knows her stuff. And not just that, Miller’s writing is so, so beautiful. Altough I knew how the story would end, it didn’t make it less sad. I think I’ll have to add this to my favorite books. I loved everything about it! For everyone whon is a fan of greek mythology, wonderful words and love.

Beautiful and not necessarily for young adults only. A coming-of-age story, a tale of friendship, love and loyalty and a lesson in Greek mythology all wrapped up in one book. And well written enough that you’ll want to read till the last page even if you already know how it ends.
