Which just makes it all the more disappointing that halfway through this book seems to switch tack. As soon as Oddyseus shows up I started having problems with this book. Circe no longer felt like the main character anymore. The focus shifted to Oddyseus and the war and recounting all his heroic adventures and I could not have cared less about that.
It also annoyed me that for what is clearly meant to be feminist literature Circe has virtually zero meaningful relationships with any other women, only men.
You are better off to stop reading this book after she turns the men into pigs, every thing after that is disappointing and uninteresting.

I'd also like to give it props for how it portrayed SA. I was afraid that it would change Circe's completely, completely rewriting her to be weak and scared, but no! It was handled extremely well! I like that it shows that trauma doesn't need to tie you down. I appreciate it!
All that aside I was extremely disappointed in the ending.

I’m left with a lot of questions still though about the lore.
Moderate: Sexism, Death, Animal death, Sexual assault, Misogyny, and Rape

Content warning: In chapter 14 there is a scene where Circe gets raped, and all the men around her watch it happening, it describes her being held against her will and chocked but doesn’t describe the act of rape in detail, mainly it focuses on the aftermath.irinalast's review against another edition
