One if the best literary pieces to exist out there. We as readers live and see through the life of Circe and it's realistic and raw.
I love how she develops from a minor young goddess to a powerful sorceress and then a caring mother. Although not a mortal, her feelings, experiences and actions were so human. The descriptions of nature and emotions were spot on 👌
