A review by adamgolden
Circe by Madeline Miller
4.0
(4.5/5★)
A well written and refreshing take on Greek mythology, focusing on the daughter of Helios and the goddess of sorcery, Circe. Whether Miller is writing about the all-powerful God's exploits throughout history or Circe's solitary, serene life on the isle of Aiaia, she knows how to craft a story that is bewitching from start to finish. Her meticulously lush descriptions of the world surrounding Circe and the way she brings to life a cast of characters thousands of years old is truly mesmerizing. One can only hope that Miller continues to adapt more stories from Greek mythology, because she undoubtedly has the aptitude for writing them.
