I might’ve tear-cried a little bit as I finished the last page to this story. I have thoughts rolling around everywhere but the most prominent is that “This was SO GOOD.”
If you’re interested in Greek gods and goddesses, especially the stories of the lessers who aren’t as widely discussed, this is a book for you. While it’s told entirely from Circe’s point of view, there are so many other lives that are woven into her story. Madeline Miller lifts the veil and allows her readers to imagine how their stories might’ve played out while everyone else’s eyes were fully occupied with the “heroes of renown.”
5 stars all around. Highly recommend.
