Circe
Madeline Miller
⭐: 5/5
Okay, usually I do a pros/cons format, but I don't have any cons. Can't think of a single one!
I loved this book. This is my first "big" exposure to Circe, so I don't have much to go on as far as accurate mythology. Heads up for that if it matters to you. I personally enjoyed it from start to finish and didn't want it to end.
The Odyssey is one of my favorites (I need to brush up on it) and it took a hot minute for it to click that she played a role in that epic. That made it even more exciting for me!
I absolutely fell in love with Circe, her struggles, and how raw her character was. Though I'm obviously no goddess, the abandonment she experienced and the way she coped was personal for me, making all her emotions that much more relatable.
Go read this if mythology is your thing!
