This book was a really fun read. Miller has a beautifully descriptive writing style that weaves a vivid picture. Somehow, for a book that spans across eternities, I did not feel like it dragged on. My favorite legend story was the tale of Trygon’s poison tail when Circe receives it for her heart and bravery . I also really enjoyed the ending to this feat. Can’t wait to read Song of Achilles soon!
