Great modern epic

I love how this reads like an epic poem, and yet still feels modern. The writing is beautifully I descriptive and gives great characterization to each god and hero as soon as you meet them.

I've read or am at least familiar with a lot of the mythological stories referenced here, but seeing them from this perspective as Circe weaves in and out of the events was really fun.
