Circe is a 2018 novel by American writer Madeline Miller. Set during the Greek Heroic Age, it is an adaptation of various Greek myths, most notably the Odyssey, as told from the perspective of the witch Circe. The novel explores Circe's origin story and narrates Circe's encounters with mythological figures such as Hermes, the Minotaur, Jason, and Medea, and ultimately her romance with Odysseus and her son by him, Telegonus.
... but it was still really good! (obviously all ya standard trigger warnings for greek mythology that i probably should have considered before reading it but yk)
Heck yes!
After Song of Achilles, this one disappointed me. It felt like a collection of short stories and oh my, so many characters and names to remember.
Wow! Stunning.
