This was my first novel of Mrs Miller and I have to admit, I know want to read all her works! This is the definition of an easy read, for me, because even though it didn't have an "easy" plot, it flowed so nicely, so effortlessly that I didn't want to put it down!

The story of Circe is unfolded before our eyes, we watch her grow, learn, face troubles and punishment, we watch her fall in love, fall out of love, seek revenge and in the end, finding peace. I will admit, that up until the 11th chapter, I wasn't Circe's biggest fan! I didn't know what to make of her character, I thought she was too naive, etc. After reading more though, I certainly appreciated her character development, I started liking her way more and in the end I was definitely rooting for her! I think it was very interesting the fact that I didn't like her immediately, because it made her character growth so much more intriguing for me!

Circe meets an array of characters, some I really liked, some I didn't. For me, the character I didn't like the most was Telegonus, because of his incredibly ignorance not only of the world, but also of other people's feelings. Of course, I attribute some of that to the way he grew up, but also I was expecting him to better handle some stuff that happened. Not alter his decisions, but have a different attitude about them, especially since he could he was hurting Circe!

At last, even though I loooved this book, I ended up giving it 4/5 stars. It would have a 5/5 for sure, if I didn't already know 90% of what happened in the book. I'm Greek so we are taught Greek mythology in school and apart from that, I have a huge interest in it as well, so read extra material on my own. Even though the writing was superb, I wasn't as surprised or as shocked, if you will, by the plot. I can definitely see how it would appeal to someone that knows little about Greek mythology, but for me, it didn't go the extra mile. Having said that, though, I still really loved the book and Circe as and individual!
