romanamartins 's review for:
Circe
by Madeline Miller
“The world is an ugly place. We must live in it.”
It is difficult to chose a favourite episode. Very beautifully written, the perfect book for the Greek Mythology lovers.
I felt I was reading The Odyssey but with a twist of modern writing. We grow up learning about Greek mythology through the Gods and Heroes’s perspective so to see Circe’s part in all of it and see her point of view and her accomplishments is a breath of fresh air.
Through the hardships of her twisted family, we witness her grow, learn, make mistakes, attempt to fix them, and atone for them. We see her experience love, loss, and yearning, and most importantly, we see her fight for her happiness and for what she wants — all the while learning how powerful she truly is.
