It was great to read the story of Circe and add more to her mythology. The author did a phenomenal job at blending the mythology of Circe, and adding more to her story, while still staying true. It’s blended so seamlessly that it’s hard to tell the difference.
There is so much character development with the goddess Circe, that she is a completely different person from the beginning of the book to the end of the book. And yet this book feels so quiet and so powerful.
I truly think you need to be a lover of Greek mythology to read and thoroughly enjoy and appreciate the story. I loved seeing the other gods and goddess interact with Circe and how they added to her story. As well as the impact of Odysseus and his family.
It was truly a remarkable story that I will always remember
