This sentence killed me when I first read it! Achilles, my beautiful, innocent and naïve boy!!! Jeez! I loved him so much! He was every bit the hero people believed him to be and most of the time he actually did the right thing. ‘Well, why should I kill him? He’s done nothing to me.’ ’Ah.’ A sly smile spread across his face he had always loved defiance. Heed my warning or get lost in the underworld. So you better beware and don’t read it if you still want to read the book. This is my spoiler section in which I’m going to speak about the individual characters and what I thought of them. It was also so damn good and worth every second of pain! This was exceptionally painful and utterly devastating, Still, the sense of foreboding in this book!!! Oh gosh, it killed me!! All those little hints, those infinitesimal innuendos, those tiny insinuations, they piled up and up and up until all I was able to feel was dread!!! By the end of the book I was reduced to a sobbing and crying nervous wreck and the final sentence was like a dagger in my heart. Unfortunately I’m a little geek and know a lot about Greek mythology so yeah, I already knew how it would end before it even ended. Those moments were so precious I couldn’t get enough of them and all I wanted was for them to be happy. Even though she never went into detail, never actually let them say that they loved each other it was still palpable in every single moment they shared together. What I loved the most was how she managed to convey Achilles’ and Patroclus relationship though. This book was just so beautiful! So, so damn beautiful! Madeline Miller definitely has a way with words and I loved how this story was written: Poetical with a lot of mythological facts and with so many details that it succeeded to make this a more than just intriguing journey. I was about 37% percent in (yes I looked it up! -P) when I first started to cry and it didn’t get any better after that. Well, both of those things came true, even way earlier than I had initially anticipated. The moment I read the first page I was already certain of two things:ġ.) This would become one of my all-time favourites and I’d gush about it like crazy.Ģ.) It wouldn’t only leave me devastated and heartbroken but also sobbing like a little child.
