Circe

Had I reviewed this at 30%, I would have given it 5 stars. Being completely unaware of Circe and her mythology, it seemed as if it was sopping with potential. I was hoping for intense witchery and defiance of the gods. I got some of this.

Had I reviewed it at 60%, I would have given it 3 stars. I grew frustrated waiting for more action and adventure. Though I couldn't deny my enjoyment of Circe as a character and how well Miller conjured the story.

However, the ending pulled it together for me, landing at 4. All in all, a magically crafted story about love, healing, and defying the gods.
