The Song of Achilles

I'm of two minds with this book. There is the first third of the book which I am not a fan of in the slightest and then the rest is excellent.

The first third of the book suffers from the same problem I had with the first act of Moonlight. The child sexualization is uncomfortable and rampant.

Having a child and their every movement being described in such ways is not how I would tackle this story.

Once we set off to the war with Troy the book is amazing. There is a lot less sexualization and everyone is older so it doesn't bother me at all.

Miller really is a wonderful writer. At no point was the book a chore to read and the prose flows so clearly it is impossible to be lost or drift off. I will absolutely be reading her next book.
