Miller's mythological retellings have gotten a lot of attention and it's totally my thing, so it was just a matter of time until I actually read them.

My familiarity with Achilles/Troy was surface level. I was a little distracted at first about what's going on and who's telling the tale, but quickly fell into this world Miller painted so well balancing character development and plot progression. Trying to look back and quickly summarize it, it's just a love story with some godly interventions put against a setting of war. The narrator's role is a whole other layer of enjoyment, from a narrative perspective, near the end. I will certainly read Circe based on my experience with this!
