The most BEAUTIFUL book I have ever read. As you read it, you feel like you are next to them. Patroclus' words about Achilles are unique, we all would like someone who "saw" us in such a way.

I couldn't read it. The commercialization of Ancient Greece, its values and way of life, has led many authors to distort or ignore many fundamental elements in order to sell their product.

  Perhaps the best book I have ever read. From beginning to end, it offered me various emotions, mainly pleasure and emotion. It would definitely be the first book that would come to mind to recommend to someone.

  It is one of the best books I have ever read. It is easy to read but at the same time it is also well-crafted. It is definitely a book that I would recommend you to read. The only thing that maybe bothered me was the first few chapters because I got a little bored. But from the moment they met and onwards, it was truly a rollercoaster of emotions. I highly recommend it, if you like historical books with a touch of the present era. I will definitely read it again and choose other books by the same author. I really thank the TikTok that made me buy this book. I don't regret it.

  Although I started it hesitantly due to having read best sellers that were not worth it, this one was absolutely justified. It has a nice flow with Patroclus as the protagonist this time, who describes to us the story of the Iliad through his own eyes.

  It is truly indescribable how incredibly beautiful and enchanting it is. It takes you to another world, very descriptive but not at all tiring, and ultimately all it manages to do is create magical images through every word. I have always liked the story of Achilles and now I love it. But whether you liked the Iliad back in high school or not, you will love it with this. (Friendly advice: Good luck with the last page of the book)

  I generally grew up with Greek mythology and mainly with Achilles, developing a special love for the hero, but I am sure that even if the same does not apply to you, you will love the book. Get it. It's worth it and more. As for the price, it's a steal!

  From the books that when you open them you can't put them down until the end. Even then, you struggle. Wonderful!

  Wonderful book, it takes you on a journey to the era of great epic heroes. Miller's lyrical writing makes the scene even more vivid and adds immediacy and liveliness. The characters are profound and multifaceted, with Achilles embodying the Homeric ideal. His divine nature is tempered by the human side of Patroclus, who functions as a catalyst. Every lover of Greek mythology is sure to love this new version of the famous story of Achilles.

  One of the worst books of its kind that I have ever read. Luckily, I only wasted 6 euros.
