loved it.
it’s different from TSOA and that’s what I adore about this book. it is more like.. a hug than a regular book.. Circe made me feel so many things, through her journeys, I found many pieces, different pieces of her scattering.. but yet, wholly, they made her a complete Circe. Circe isn’t perfect, and yet she has been the kindest of all. her encounters with Glaucos, Hermes, Daedalus, Odysseus, Telegonus, and then there is Telemachus and his mother, Penelope.. have this.. special tints to each of them that distinguishes them for another. it’s really special. so.. yeah, this book feels more like a warm hug.
