Love. Honor. Pride. A story about a man whose name rings through history even to this day and the sad ending of his love. I have long been drawn to the story of Helen and Troy but this is my first time reading about Achilles, the greatest warrior of his age. And to discover such intimate details about his life shows how even the best among us are flawed and only human. This one took its time to pick up but with less than a hundred pages to go and the end already known as history gives it to us, I have a feeling I can't escape. The sadness is beginning to seep in. The end already in sight. Hoping to finish this book tonight. What is the last book you read that had a sad ending? . . . #nowreading #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #readersofinstagram #readersofig #booklovers #readerlife #literature #bibliophile #achilles #fiction #madelinemiller #historicalfiction #troy #currentlyreading #booksofig #igreads #indianreaders #qotd
