In my Greek mythology retelling era. Pidin kovasti valitusta näkökulmasta, Kirken tarinasta. Kaipuuta, kohtaloja, rakkautta, menetystä.

I love Millers writing. Probably still liked A Song of Achilles just slightly more than Circe, but this was still really good!

Circe starts off kind of slow, making it challenging to dive in at first. But I’m so glad I stuck with it because it ended up being such a great read! With only a basic understanding of Greek mythology, I appreciated how Miller reimagines Circe’s story, infusing it with a powerful feminist perspective. The themes of empowerment and identity resonate deeply throughout the narrative. Miller's writing is captivating, filled with rich detail that brings the world to life. Overall, it's a beautifully crafted tale that transforms a familiar myth into something profoundly relevant and engaging.
