“He is half of my soul, as the poets say.” The heart-wrenching myth of Achilles and Patroclus is explored in this romantic and fast-paced novel by Madeline Miller. I picked up this book to read more about Greek Mythology, and I was hooked... The story moves through Patroclus and Achilles's friendship that dives into more over time. Their relationship blossoms in a way that you feel like you are intruding in private moments left and right. A great retelling of a classic story, and very steamy at times...!!
