Story Blurb
A tale of gods, kings, immortal fame, and the human heart, The Song of Achilles is a dazzling literary feat that brilliantly reimagines Homer’s enduring masterwork, The Iliad. An action-packed adventure, an epic love story, a marvelously conceived and executed page-turner, Miller’s monumental debut novel has already earned resounding acclaim from some of contemporary fiction’s brightest lights—and fans of Mary Renault, Bernard Cornwell, Steven Pressfield, and Colleen McCullough’s Masters of Rome series will delight in this unforgettable journey back to ancient Greece in the Age of Heroes.
My Thoughts/Opinion
I haven't read a lot of Greek Mythology, but this book was so good, I immediately went and downloaded both The Iliad and The Odyssey. It was dangerous, rapturous, and edgy. The storytelling was exceptional and on multiple occasions I struggled to put the book down and get back to real life responsibilities. Whether or not you know much about Greek Mythology, this book is a fantastic story that I highly recommend.
