graceros_e 's review for:
Circe
by Madeline Miller
honestly one of my favourite books of this year so far and a guarantee that I’ll start to read more madeleine miller titles.
despite not knowing a lot about greek mythology and the already existing stories i thoroughly enjoyed following circe on her journey and one thing i love the most is how layered she is. she’s not a perfect heroine by all means and all the guilt, anger and longing she feels i think was executed perfectly. i also loved how her journey managed to tie in with other greek myths that i already know of such as odysseus and the minotaur and I thought it was very interesting to see them from her perspective.
overall a wonderful read and i would definitely recommend it to anyone!!
