Der Schreibstil hat mir gut gefallen, aber während es viele andere anscheinend zu Tränen gerührt hat, ist das bei mir ausgeblieben. SPOILER: Ich verstehe nicht ganz, wieso so viele bei der Romanze mitfiebern. Ab einem gewissen Punkt konnte ich beide Charaktere nicht mehr ausstehen. Ich habe Rezensionen gelesen, die besagen: genau das ist der Punkt - es spielt im Krieg, es gibt keine guten. Das Argument kann ich noch eher nachvollziehen.. Aber Patroclus hatte gefühlt keine andere Persönlichkeit als Achilles anzuhimmeln 🥲 Ich kann den Hype leider einfach nicht so ganz nachvollziehen
Amazing
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5 Stars) This book had been sitting on my TBR for way too long, and now I regret not picking it up sooner. It’s not often that someone takes on the story of Achilles and Patroclus in such a compelling and deeply emotional way, but The Song of Achilles does exactly that. Madeline Miller brings fresh life to an ancient tale, exploring not just the legendary warrior Achilles, but also the love, pain, and humanity behind his story. Finally, a book that truly delves into the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus! So many retellings overlook or downplay this aspect, but Miller embraces it wholeheartedly, making it the emotional core of the novel. Her approach to their bond—growing from childhood friendship to love—feels natural, raw, and beautifully developed. The way the novel handles Achilles as both a hero and a deeply flawed figure is masterful. His greatness is undeniable, but so is his pride, his stubbornness, and ultimately, his tragedy. The war itself is brutal, vivid, and heartbreaking, and watching these characters navigate it is both mesmerizing and painful. And speaking of pain—I cried my eyes out. The emotional weight of the story is immense, and by the end, I was completely wrecked in the best way possible. While the book is beautifully written, there are moments where the pacing feels a little slow, especially in the earlier chapters. Some scenes could have been tighter, but honestly, this is a minor issue compared to how powerful the overall experience is. The Song of Achilles is a stunning and deeply moving retelling of one of the greatest stories in Greek mythology. If you love mythology, tragic love stories, or just beautifully crafted prose, this book is a must-read. It’s heartbreaking, unforgettable, and absolutely worth the tears.
