Circe by Madeline Miller

adventurous reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

What a beautiful book (inside and out). I love the retellings/reimaginings, and Circe was one I didn't know much about. You know a book is good when you keep thinking about it and it makes you want to do your own research. The locations were so vividly portrayed, I could imagine being there. I enjoyed the exploration of witchcraft, divinity, and immortality. I was rooting for Circe, and loved her as a character. There are just so many good things to say about this book, and although it took me a little while to read, it wasn't because of flaws, it was because I was thinking about and unpacking things all the time. This will keep me thinking for some time.
