The Song of Achilles
Miller puts a romantic, emotional spin on a classic story that is absolutely lovely to read, as well as heartbreaking. Patroclus’ depiction here as Achilles’ mortal best friend turned mortal lover couples very well with the blossoming development of his own individual personhood throughout the story. The way he strove for and reached greatness in his own way was exhilarating to experience as his life became more intertwined with anger, tension, and the terrors of war. He is his own man while also feeling this deep, divine connection and loyalty to Achilles that sort of anchors him until he takes it upon himself to free them both, and in my opinion it’s written so very well. Also, the way Patroclus describes Achilles at several points in the novel is some of the most beautiful prose I’ve read in a while. The man was smitten, ya’ll.
