    I loved your review, honestly I felt the same and I cried for days after I finished the book. Truly the most beautiful (yet devastating) book I’ve ever read! I can’t help but want more, I wish to see some kind of adaptation or maybe another book exploring Patroclus’s point of view after everything that happened maybe in a reincarnation or something 🙏🏼

    I cried a lot. Like i was constantly crying last three chapters. I somehow found myself in patroculus. I don't know why, maybe cause i also lost my Achilles. Whenever i go to last pages i cry. Even after years i may cry.

    I'm so happy you're getting into Greek Mythology ❤️
    IMO you should read Percy Jackson series first Rick Riordan has done such a great job. You'll literally enjoy the book, the characters Riordan's wit and so much about Greek Mythology in a very cheerful way.

    Great review video 🎉 i agree with everything, This book is just everything for me, i completed it within 2 to 3 days, because i couldn't do anything, it's so immersive, i was so invested, that ending line is so satisfying, knowing that they'll be together forever in underworld

    Thanks Anchal for giving me the enthu to actually finish Iliad ASAP & start with this gem of a book finally 🥺

    I don't know what to say..firstly you did a great job with annotating the book, it looks so good! & secondly the way you share your view it just makes it feel very relatable, I kinda read to know why you reacted the way you reacted ...But, I just finished reading the Shiva trilogy and I cried, because thats not how I thought it would end .. I knew what happens with sati.. but I was expecting the emergence of parvati..or something else to happen Idk.. so keeping in mind the impact of that book.. I might not read The song of Achillies now.. maybe by the end of this year ..

God, I would have picked up the book rn but thinking that I have really not go so much ahead in the reading journey. So...I am going to wait for sometime...and will then allow this book to devastate me. Will then share my experience with you on Instagram and please, reply to my messages. I am just dying to get a reply from you and to connect with you in my reading journey.
