my first “pure” 5-stars in a while. What a great story. I mean yeah it's re-imagining Greek mythology but when you do it this movingly, deliciously and respectfully i don't even think about the original ones. Circe, as a book and also as the character, will stay with me. I was afraid it would not live up to The Song of Achilles (which i read like 8 years ago) but at this point in my life I believe Circe means more to me. So that's another home-run from Madeline Miller. The writing is as beautiful as i remember and for the first time in my life i wanted to tab a book! AND MAYBE I WILL!!! The power of Circe!
