That was the most breathtakingly gorgeous ending I have ever read. I had my reservations when the chapters began to drag, but as I kept reading and I neared the end this book redeemed itself. I love Circe, as a character. Yes she was wrong in so many ways and at so many times, but she grew from those moments and from her shortcomings and OH! I could just go on and on and on about this book.
100% a six-star read
4/6/24: this book is my Roman Empire. I think about Circe everyday. I love her! She’s just such an incredible character, and her LIONS! Oh, how I love her lions :(
