I listened to the audiobook of Circe and really enjoyed it! At this point, I think I will read anything that's based on mythology!
Circe is the daughter of Helios, a titan. Circe just wants to be loved but is constantly betrayed. When she demonstrates her power, Circe is banished to a deserted island by Zeus. Despite being so far removed, she must still endure harsh treatment and the summoning of her family.
I like that although Circe is from Odysseus's journey, the author delves more into Circe's past and future after Odysseus. She does not only exist in relation to his story and I like how much she is developed in this novel.
