Circe

Enthralled, I would describe myself as enthralled while reading this. I found myself putting it down toward the end simply because I did not want to finish it. The storytelling in Circe is amazing. It's a page turner, full of stories. And, I must confess, the Greek Gods have never done anything for me. They are always so cruel and so skimpy on logic, but here we see them through Circe's eyes and they just transform into the monsters they actually are. Here is the thing, Circe just isn't like them, and I loved her for it. I think I will go back and read The Song of Achilles in the fall, despite having no care in the world in reading about Achilles.

Note to self: read Calypso and Circe back to back-not on purpose. And, of course, Calypso is not about Calypso anyway.
