Circe by Madeline Miller
4.0

This was an entrancing read. It definitely reads like mythology, which really wraps you up into the story itself.

I have never heard of Circe, nor am I very educated in Greek mythology. I can tell you very basics, even though it is something that I really like.

Circe tells us a story of a Titan who is banished because she is a witch. That was really enough to hook me forever. I never felt like the story was slow or boring. There was many times we jumped many years ahead because it didn't need to be dragged out, which is something I love a lot when it comes to books. This is a gripping, page turning story that I devoured.

I highly recommend this book if you even have a remote interest in Greek mythology or strong female characters.
