Circe

This is a captivating retelling of the story of Circe, a lesser goddess in the Greco-Roman mythology. I am not terribly interested in Greco-Roman mythology (it is overdone, in my opinion), but I really enjoyed reading this book nonetheless. The story is told from Circe's perspective and grapples with some of the darker sides of mythological gods, such as the petty drama between gods, the gods' relations to mortals, and the loneliness imposed by immortality. It was refreshing to read a take on Greco-Romance mythology from one of the peripheral characters' perspective.
