Bro
Honestly one of the best books I've ever read. Like the writing style was top notch and the way the author described every moment was so alluring, truly a 10/10.
CHAKA

My god it is so beautiful.
Honestly one of the best retelling books I have ever read. The detailed but concise writing really explained the events. The gayness is the cherry on top.

Exceptionally heartwrenching
The way the book is written you just can't put it down. Hands down one of my favourite books I've read.
Jay

Just read it.
I have read this book over and over again and have countless passages highlighted and marked. The storytelling is beautiful and heartbreaking and absolutely magnificent. It's not too fast but the story doesn't move slow enough to be boring and the whole time I was captivated. If you're contemplating reading it, just do it.

The song of Achilles: a review
One of the best books I've read in a while. The song of Achilles pulls you in and you kinda just keep flipping the pages, that before you know it, you're at the end and feeling so sad because you wanted it to go on forever. Madeline miller is truly an amazing author
