This is the best book I've read in a long while. It sweeps you up in its waves and keeps you aloft the whole time. It's so very quotable.

Was really well written, but felt slow. Redeemed by the fact that I still couldn’t put it down.

This book is like reading an epic and beautiful poem.

I really liked this book mainly because of my little obsession with Greek mythology.

Circe is a great character and even a better main character. What I really loved about her was her character development and how sometimes not everything in the story was moving around her (which is ironic considering that’s she is our main girl) and she could take more of a viewer position.

She has her long story taking place in an even longer and bigger story which h I find fascinating.

I felt like a child at Christmas every time a myth or a mythical creature made an appearance in the chapters. I was so excited that it’s embarrassing.

And all of these other characters were very well written and interesting. I despised every single one of her siblings so much that it almost hurt .

This author has a very beautiful way with words, she truly is talented and relatable (I have the same obsession with ancient Greek culture, so I hear you girl)

If there is something I didn’t liked about this book is how long and dense it can get at times. It took me longer that I usually takes me to finish a book.

I know I sound like a fangirl, but this topics are really enthusiastic to me.

Read you all later.
