Circe

I have LOVED reading this book at the same time as my mom!!!!!!!!! This book is everything I needed this summer. Having read the original text in the Odyssey, I didn't really know what to expect. Circe was such a whirlwind of a character in it, so powerful, but kinda one-dimensional. Obviously, Odysseus had to be elsewhere and Homer couldn't really focus on badass mf Circe.
Luckily, Madeline Miller has completely done her justice. Circe has been of my favourite characters that I've read about in mf years, seeing her grow through the ages has been delightful. Every character she interacts with leaves an impact on her and UhghghGHGHGH this was really really realllyyyyy good. I loved the ending, I loved the beginning, I loved the writing, love love love.
Being able to discuss the book with my mother was so lovely, idk, I love my mom <3.
