Circe is so real, I love her. I wish she was able to get some better revenge or something though. It was kind of lacking in the action sense. Not that I really minded it, it's just that this story is marketed as an epic and usually with epics there's a lot more action.

I'm happy she got her happy ending I just wish it wasn't with her son's brother 😭 that is so weird.
