I loved reading about Circe’s life, or rather Madeline Miller’s version of it. Miller has a wonderful writing style and weaves her retellings in a refreshing and captivating way. The story’s pace is very slow and it took me a while to get through the book but I still found myself thoroughly enjoying it. Although
I loved Circe’s humor, it comes up on rare occasions but they were very fun additions.

Being the eldest daughter, I felt an instant connection with Circe. Her unwavering resilience, the way she slowly embraced her inner fire and untamed spirit, her determination to persist in the face of adversity, her inevitable mistakes, her worries, her fears, and her love —all contribute to making Circe a heroine defined by herself. Also, anyone who is bold enough to stand up against the Olympian gods and the Titans on their own, will always have a special place in my heart.
