This is the story of the seige of Troy from the perspective of Achilles best-friend Patroclus. Although Patroclus is outcast from his home for disappointing his father he manages to be the only mortal who can keep up with the half-God Archilles. Even though many will know the facts behind the story the telling is fresh and engaging.
This is a really lovely (re-)interpretation of the Iliad through the lens of romance writing. I really enjoy how the author has made the characters come to life in an unexpected way. Really easy and stress-free read. Absolutely recommend this book.
Such a beautifully written and captivatingly intimate work. I was so entranced and obsessed, I finished it in two days!
If you're a fan of historical tragic romance -and even if you aren't- this is THE book to read
Didn't meet my expectations as far as the reviews went, but still a very good book.
Otro libro con el que no puedo ser objetiva y en el que Miller tampoco. En mi hermandad con la autora sobre lo mucho que nos gusta la mitología griega no puedo más que recomendar este libro al que tenga las mismas inclinaciones.
Sin embargo, creo que Circe es mejor libro, quizás porque encaja más con las revisiones intimistas que quiere contar. La gran batalla de Troya no se puede circunscribir en el par de tiendas en las que viven y me parece un delito grave que el duelo de Aquiles con Hector se finiquite en un par de frases.
