This book is beautifully written, and takes place over centuries.
This follows the story of Circe, and he life as a classical Greek goddess. I Loved all the ties to classical Greek mythology, without a lot info dumping, or taking me out of the story.
It wasn’t too slow, and we really get to feel Circe’s emotions/loneliness throughout the book.
Wasn’t too sure about this book to begin with, as I haven’t heard a lot about it. It was definitely a beautiful surprise, and one of my favorites of the year!
