A review by samantita
Circe by Madeline Miller

3.5

I wasn't a fan of Greek mythology before this book and still am not, though if I'm going to read a book about Greek mythology it's going to be one that centers on how a goddess finds her strength and transforms into someone much different than her patriarchal and shallow counterparts. I enjoyed seeing how Circe reacted to her circumstances, at first with anger and ill intentions and then with newfound strength and wisdom.

The end did get a little weird, but I think that her decision to become a mortal was the perfect way to end the novel.

Oh, and I'm here for any book where the female MC turns men into pigs.
