A review by luluvante
Circe by Madeline Miller

5.0

“But in a solitary life, there are rare moments when another soul dips near yours, as stars once a year brush the earth. Such a constellation was he to me.”

I love this book, I love Circe and I love Madeline Miller for creating such a masterpiece! As a lover of Greek mythology I really, really enjoyed this retelling of Circe. I savoured every word as if they were ambrosy or nectar, making my way through her life story, feeling what she was feeling, becoming her. Even though it could've felt slow at times, one must remember Circe had all eternity to tell her story, so why would she haste, right?
