kaetzlein 's review for:

Circe by Madeline Miller
4.75
challenging emotional hopeful reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I enjoyed this thorougly. The retelling adds new perspective to the original mythology, making them more complex and modern.
For me the main overarching themes were loneliness and mortality, which is unexpected for a book about a goddess. But it made perfect sense. A beautifully told story.
