Circe

Madeline Miller doesn't miss! This was so different from The Song of Achilles, yet it still shares the same essential qualities of what makes a compelling novel. This story had a chokehold on me since the moment I first started reading it. Without giving any spoilers, this was the perfect book to transition me from the hot summer days to the hopefully soon to come autumn vibes. A new favorite, for sure.

PS: If you are going to read both, read Song of Achilles first. They're standalone, but they make many references to that story here. Unless you're already super well versed in Greek mythology, then it probably won't make a difference.
