There’s something in me that won’t give this book the whole 5 stars but I’m not sure why. It was a little slow at the start if I really had to nitpick. But other than that this book was perfection. Circe and her great mind. I feel like I got to know her so closely that she would laugh at me if I said she could not catch a break. But I love her, with all her pride. We follow Circe from her earlier years to when she is exiled on Aiaia. I’m happy for the ending she got in this. She deserved nothing but. Reading it made me emotional and warm. If there’s ever a time I want to come down from a bad day I would read this ending over and over again. A very fulfilling story.
