Holy fuck was this good! I read it after I read CIRCE, knowing that THE SONG OF ACHILLES got a ton of buzz and was beloved by, like, everyone with good taste. And THE SONG OF ACHILLES is great. It takes you into another world. It is storytelling at its best. It is a whisper, a song, a legend, it is bright and human. 
 Still, CIRCE is better. Get ready for it!
