After loving the song of Achilles I finally got around to reading Madeline millers second book. I was instantly hooked on the story and felt sucked into circes world. I also read it on vacation in southern France and the scenery made me feel so connected to Circe on her island. It is beautifully written but I did find it a bit slow towards the end.
