This epic tale follows Achilles, the best of all Greeks, and the awkward young prince Patroclus, who forge an inseparable bond despite risking the gods' wrath.

But when the cruel Fates demand a terrible sacrifice, their bond is put to the ultimate test.

67/100. The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. After Circe I had high hopes, and the book delivers (though it came first). Story of Achilles told from the perspective Patroclus, steering clear of cliches. Story of Achilles influences also another book I'm reading currently..      source
