pineconek 's review for:

Circe by Madeline Miller
4.0

I listened to about 60% of this book, and read the rest. I think I prefered it as an audiobook, but it's also possible that it's because I found the beginning stronger than the ending.
It was really cool to re-experience myths that I remember from either my childhood or early high school and haven't thought about in over a decade. The reflections on womanhood (desirability, power, belonging, agency) were the icing on the cake.
