Circe was a book that I was excited to read from the beginning, but getting into the book realized how truly beautiful it was. Circe is written as more than a lover to Odysseus and more than just a mother. She's written to where her character development happens slowly and over time, but by the end of the book her you get self would've been unable to recognize her. Her eventually outgrowung her exile and being able to travel the world and share her witchcraft with others I think was the best way to end the story. Circe was treated so bad for so long, and seeing her be able to get her happy ending was something that I thoroughly enjoyed.
