I enjoyed this a lot more compared to song of achilles. it's an interesting story with very well fleshed out character development which I felt was lacking in Miller's previous work

I always love the feeling of when you see how a name or story you heard of long ago fits into the greek mythos. 

Like all Miller books, it took me a while to get into and Circe did not hit me as hard as Song of Achilles did. (Which is mostly because the Illiad is one of my favourite parts of Greek mythology.) However, the nuance in which Circe evolves as a character and takes back control of her own story is brilliant. It was a great read.

A homecoming tale for a character who was never once welcomed and had to define home before she could even believe to deserve one. Feminism and mythology.

Miller aptly, but also beautifully writes the stories of characters who lived in the shadows of heroes. She is a master at building character's motivations around tales told by many. 
  Elle insuffle la vie à ces personnages par sa compréhension des motifs humains.
