I started to re read this book and was just blown away again by how beautiful Madeline Miller writes, it's so poetic.

For anyone who doesn't know its about the life of the goddess Circe and covers many myths over her lifetime.

My only criticism is that the pacing of the book majorly picks up in the last few chapters and it feels rushed compared to the other chapters. I think there couldve been another couple hundred pages of those few chapters to be honest and I'll be excited when hbo brings the TV show out to see what they do with those final chapters!

Its made me even more excited for her next book.
