4.0

Enjoyed this book more than Song of Achilles, so read this if you're a fan of Greek mythology. 

The author weaves a beautiful story about Circe who struggles with love & acceptance & understanding what role her deity plays in the world.

Along this adventure you'll meet the great Greek heroes & the temperamental gods & goddesses & monsters & gain insight into why she was known as the witch who turned sailors into pigs. After all, there's always more than one side to a story.
