Circe

where do I even BEGIN with this one— the character development, pacing, the MAGIC! It's all so beautiful I can't even handle it. This book has to be one of (if not THE) favorites of 2019. I truly devoured this book in maybe a day while home sick from work. Miller's writing improved SO much from Song of Achilles to this one (not that SoA was bad, I've re read it like a million times). Each character, especially Circe (obviously) was so well thought out and nuanced. Like honestly, there were times when I was SO annoyed with Circe. HOW does she not recognize how powerful her witchcraft makes her? Why is she so desperate for companionship when she's a literal Bad ass TITAN and scares Zeus?! But then I realized, in a feverish moment of clarity that Circe is SO RELATABLE in that way. I know SO many people who are seemingly so powerful/awesome to everyone else, but have really low self confidence. And that character development, from feeling like she is nothing, to turning men into PIGS (that they are), to finding love and power, is why you should read Circe. Anyway I am writing this on my commute back from work so apologies for ny grammar mistakes.
