Another incredible read from Madeline Miller. I've put so many tabs in this book; there's no end to the amount of incredible scenes Miller paints, whether of self-acceptance, self-discovery, or healing from past abuse. Circe was an incredible character to follow, and I loved the entire last chapter. While I lost a bit of enthusiasm toward the end, that may have just been because I was dreading the end and started slowing my reading pace. Wonderfully done, I can't wait to come back to this one and re-read everything I loved about it the first time. Well done, Miller. I can't wait to see what she does next.
