This book is a retelling of the mythological being, Circe. In this book, she is banished to an island by Zeus, where she perfects her witchy ways. A lot of well known mythological characters make an appearance in this book, which was fun.

I am genuinely interested in mythology, and I had hopes that I would like this book. This is not something that I would typically read, however a friend has convinced me to read this book and The Song of Achilles. I have to admit that I liked this more than I thought that I would, and I am grateful for that. This author has a nice way with words, and there are quite a few lines in this book that would make some very memorable quotes. I am really looking forward to The Song of Achilles now.
