I'd like to start off by saying Circe is such a girlboss for what she did to those men. She is so right for turning them into pigs. I have always been a fan of Greek myth, and Madeline Miller has such a way of bringing these legends to life. I read The Song of Achilles about a year ago for the first time and loved it. Now that I've read Circe I can safely say that I will automatically be buying anything that Madeline Miller writes in the future. I love how Circe brings together many different myths, and how she transforms as a character throughout the story. There is so much more I can say about this book, but the overall point is that I loved reading Circe.
