Me perdí un poco en la trama porque no se mucho sobre la mitología griega pero me gustó mucho y me entretuve mucho. La historia me parece llena de vida y linda.
Questa recensione contiene spoiler.
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller is a historical fantasy novel inspired by Greek mythology, particularly the story of Achilles and the Trojan War. The novel is narrated by Patroclus, who tells the story of his life, his friendship with Achilles, and their journey during one of the most famous wars in Greek mythology.
What makes the book especially interesting is the way Miller brings ancient Greek mythology to life. The characters are written with great depth, and Achilles is shown not simply as a legendary warrior but as a person with ambitions, fears, and emotions. Patroclus also develops significantly throughout the story, making the reader feel connected to his experiences.
The descriptions of ancient Greece, the training of warriors, and the events surrounding the Trojan War create a vivid atmosphere. Miller's writing is beautiful and often poetic, although some parts of the novel can feel slow because of the detailed descriptions.
One of the strongest aspects of the book is its emotional storytelling. It explores themes such as friendship, loyalty, honour, fate, and the consequences of war. The ending is particularly powerful and leaves a lasting impression on the reader.
Overall, The Song of Achilles is a beautifully written and emotionally engaging retelling of Greek mythology. I would recommend it to readers who enjoy mythology, historical fiction, and character-driven stories. Rating: 4.5/5.
