After having read Ariadne, my first book into Greek Mythology, it piqued my interest to pick up another greek mythology book and I am no disappointed.
The writing is beautiful, especially Circe's motherhood and her pov as a parent who wishes to protect her son as much as possible, to realise that that might not be the best course of action for he seeks greater knowledge beyond what was on the island he dwells.
Highly recommend for anyone who wishes to venture into greek mythology.
