I missed when this was massively trending back during covid but as much as it wasn’t an all time favourite I can admit the hype was for a reason.
This tale follows the tale of Circe and essentially the stories of her life and the people she meets. Which is shockingly a lot considering early in the book she gets herself exiled for life to an island.
Weirdly poetic at times it had some beautiful quotes.
