Awesome book I really enjoyed this. As an astrologer the mythology comes up a lot and I’ve always been interested in myths but I feel like the way they’re written is always so hard for me to follow so it was very nice to have a novelized account. I also really enjoyed getting to know Circe better and about how witchcraft is included in mythology which I never really knew. I think the language in this is really beautiful in a way that references an epic but is easy for the modern reader to grasp. I’m excited to read Song of Achilles next.
