The Song of Achilles

I am not okay.

Circe has to be one of my all-time favourite books, I should have known The Song of Achilles would destroy me.

I put this off for so long because I absolutely love Briseis, and Patroclus and Achilles, in The Silence of the Girls and I knew I would need time between retellings to digest. I am so glad I took that time and was able to come into this one with a fresh palate, I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much as I did had I read them back to back on the first go. Big however though, now that I have read both, I am 100% planning a tandem read to experiment with how they shape each other.
