4.0
adventurous medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix

There’s just something about Greek mythology that makes it timeless. I loved Circe by Madeline Miller, as well as Mythos by Stephen Fry. I’d recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed those two books as well. There’s a cast of characters that’s really helpful too.

One minor critique I have is that Penelope’s chapters came across more like exposition. I especially enjoyed the chapters with the deities.
