I am a Greek mythology hoe so of course I loved this book. Feminist story set in the canon which diminished women mostly to tools for heroes to chase their glory. Miller doesn’t strip away achievements of men but rather shines light on the women who were always in the background of these stories, giving them the centre of the stage. At last.
Circe is written with such an intense amount of compassion to women in general, not only the ones from myths. Circe starts off as an innocent soul, with heart of her sleeve - life is beating that out of her but never fully succeeds. She learns to guard her heart and those she loves, seizing power for herself and you can’t help but think “good for her”.

I’d been meaning to read this for over a year and I’m glad I finally got around to it. It’s such a beautiful and harrowing tale that follows Circe’s life but weaves in the stories of so many other gods and goddesses. I was deeply engrossed even if I was sad.
I will say it was long asffff. And when I hit the 80% mark I was tired, but I’m glad I kept going because I loved the ending.
