Böyle bitmemeliydi kabul edemiyorum bu sonu tatmin edici olmadı benim içim maalesef.
Bir de Kirke’nin daha çok female rage geçirmesini isterdim. Sana neler ettiler be kızım alsaydın ya intikamını :(

The language is beautiful, I love the protagonist Circe and all the characters were well written.
I’m left with a lot of questions still though about the lore.

Content warning: In chapter 14 there is a scene where Circe gets raped, and all the men around her watch it happening, it describes her being held against her will and chocked but doesn’t describe the act of rape in detail, mainly it focuses on the aftermath.patreesyah's review

Circe, an epitome of being a woman. Thank you Madeline Miller for blessing us with this masterpiece.

a book that explores new forms of imagination and narrative: what it means to be a woman, what glory looks like for different folks, and how to stomach this life. it takes an immortal goddess's wisdom to show us that to fear, to die, to love, and to create are all part of what it means to be truly alive.
