This book completely exceeded my expectations. I loved how it retold the stories I was familiar with through a different and outside perspective. The story was captivating and I liked how Circe constantly questioned what it meant to be a goddess and how she could use her powers for good. The ending felt very full circle and it is possibly the most satisfying ending I have read in a book. Highly recommend!

P.S. I would LOVE to live on Aiaia in Circe's house it sounded like a dream.
