Circe

Circe is such a unique character - she is a goddess who despises her immortality but makes use of it for the good of others (most of the time), as opposed to the other Greek gods. The writing style is awesome and I like the way Madeline Miller describes situations and scenes. Overall, although I disliked the fact that Circe goes on to marry Thelemacus (In my opinion a mother-son relationship would have fitted better.. With Circe always searching for a stable connection with someone and just losing her son and all that.. but it's the original story of Circe sooooo) the whole retelling was very well written and I'm impressed with the way the author makes me like characters which are always portrayed as heartless and cold in the original stories.
