hermusings 's review for:

Circe by Madeline Miller
3.75
adventurous challenging slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Incredible how Miller intertwined aspects of everyday womanhood with known Greek myths. 
Circe’s life is one of hardship, misunderstandings, cruelty but also love, solitude and compassion.

My only con was how slow pace this book is. It’s written in the style of Homer.
