This was a wonderful tale from beginning to end. Circe's development, in her character and in her adventures, were interesting to read through. I've always loved reading about these myths, and it was great to see it done in this way through a perspective I haven't read much through.
Although it was a great book, I find that because it's tone was through a sort of retelling un third person, I personally couldnt feel as conn3cted to the characters as I wanted to. I recognize that may be the aim of it, but yep.
I loved the way writing really just pulled you in, the way it's described truly makes you feel as if you're watching the story from up close. Would recommend to anyone fancying a story on myths and legends.
