Lovely written. Circe is a great character and we move with her through her centuries of being immortal. She is a goddess but painted very humanlike, we read of her pain, anger, hopes, joy, shame and grieves. Her thriumps and mistakes. It's not plot driven but definitely just about her life and character development. It was a good read, wasn't boring, kept it interesting.
