Key quotes
· 3 pulledMiller se mantém fiel aos mitos gregos e ao trabalho de Homero ao mesmo tempo em que preenche as lacunas da história de maneira criativa e convincente. Ela traça a amizade e o suposto romance entre Pátroclo e Aquiles de maneira a destacar o lado humano da guerra de Troia. – Rick Riordan
A redescoberta de A Canção de Aquiles pela Geração Z, após todos estes anos, indica a relevância e atualidade dos temas que ele traz. Ideias ultrapassadas sobre masculinidade, com guerreiros fortões no centro da trama, são aos poucos desfeitas pela autora, que investiga a intimidade e os sentimentos de seus protagonistas não pelo viés estereotipado, mas pelo trato simplesmente humano. – Revista Veja
É uma história sobre o poder do amor e a força do destino, mas também das grandes batalhas entre deuses e reis, de paz e glória, de fama eterna e dos segredos do coração humano.
