And then it turned into a shitty "feminist" novel. And I know that makes me sound gross, but it's in quotes for a reason. Because why, why does every book featuring a powerful woman always have to end up about
I wish I could have more love for this book. But I want 500 pages of an immortal's torment at the hands of humanity. I want a narrative of her suffering on finding a few kind souls, only to be torn apart by the next pack of dogs. I want a dark assemblage of our species' sins told via a recollection of an eternal life's worth of memories. I want her to be twisted and cold and cruel and I want it to be justified because that would be real. If someone wants something happy in there, throw a Sapphic romance in at the end that doesn't "fix" her. But I can't stand to read Circe talking about the cruelties of men, cruelties of gods and goddesses, cruelties of LIFE, just to turn around and
And then she

Bár Kirké történetét kevésbé ismertem, sokkal jobban kapcsolódni tudtam vele és az isteni mivoltával csupán azért mert ezek olyan gondolatok amikre gyakrabban kerestem a választ. Ha a görög isteneket akartam volna megérteni, akkor ez a mű csodás kommentárt adott a megértésükhöz narratíván keresztül.
A rengeteg történet amelyben Kirké részt vesz és a rengeteg mitológiai utalás mind megérintettek vagy megnevettettek. Érdekesnek találtam, hogyan kapcsolódnak össze mégis a különböző mesék és legendák.
Kirké karakterfejlődése figyelemreméltó volt, és csodáltam, hogy mennyire megérthetőnek és megérintőnek találtam. Talán ez tetszett benne annyira, hogy milyen karakterfókuszú volt a mű.
A mellékszereplők mind érdekesek és élvezetesek voltak. Pasziphaé gyönyörűen kegyetlen, Daidalosz mélyen érintő, Pénelpeia furfangos, Télemakhosz és Télegonosz pedig szívmelengetőek. Odüsszeusz pedig önmaga volt, mely nosztalgiát ébresztett bennem, de nem mondhatom azt, hogy nem változott meg a róla alkotott képem teljesen.
A különböző metaforák és gondolatok amiket megjelenített igazán elgondolkodtatóak voltak és nem hiszem, hogy a közel jövőben ki fogom tudni szedni ezt a könyvet a fejemből.
