A review by raethereviewer
Circe by Madeline Miller

3.5

I don’t know what I can say about this book that hasn’t already been said. Madeline Miller does an excellent job of weaving together the various tales involving Circe and her bloodline into one consecutive narrative. This novel is told through Circe’s perspective alone. In doing so, I think it misses the mark in showing the power imbalance and questionable consent of her relationship with Odysseus. It also incorporates some parts of the Telegony that work for the narrative arc, but not for my conscience.
