Very beautifully written. Miller does an excellent job at humanizing her characters and highlighting their complexities. It feels like a memoir or like Circe is in the room with me, telling me her story.

Witchin’. Loved it so so much. Helped that I read it on the kindle and was able to read more about the characters on wiki. This was my first foray into Greek mythology and it was fab. I am a big fan of Madeline Millers writing and am onto her other works now - Galatea, song of Achilles etc

I loved this book so much more than I expected to (and the audio book recording was incredible; my friend described it as “almost melodic” and I agree, exquisite). I had thought that I found Greek mythology boring, but oops, I was wrong. Spectacular, moving, inspiring.

Madeline Miller does a marvelous job of taking you on a roller coaster ride. Circe is a really strong character and Madeline has done nothing but justice to the character with this scrupulously drafted novel.
