I wish there were more! Circe grew so much, yet down to her core, remained the Circe we were initially introduced to. It was a hard book to put down, even at the worst moments, the writing was captivating. I felt charmed by the writing, similar to how I felt gods and goddesses charm those around them.

One of the best books I’ve ever had read. If I have anything bad to say about it at all, it’s that I’ll never be able to read it for the first time ever again.

Welcome to Αἰαία, see the pigs transform from humans. Welcome to Αἰαία, hope you like Circe you ain’t leaving. Caroline Polachek would love it here 4🏝️

I love how intricate names in Greek mythology are: Helios, Pasiphaë, Minos, Aeëtes & then there’s literally Jason!💀

NB Fuck, marry, kill: Odysseus, Achilles, Paris (in that order) 🏛️
