Answered a promptWhat are your favorite books of all time?
This book drew me in from the first page. The author's writing is beautiful and she weaves a world of wonder. I love both history and Greek mythology as well as character-driven books that explore both humanity and the self. Circe is a Greek goddess, daughter of a Titan, and an outcast in many ways. We get to experience what humanity is through the lens of her divinity, and her struggles both internal and external throughout the book. The author effortlessly weaves in characters and stories that many know from The Odyssey and other mythological stories. This is the first book I have read from this author, and I certainly plan to explore more of her works.
