A lovely, haunting read. Miller's prose here is even more vivid, I felt, than it was in The Song of Achilles, and I absolutely love how she writes about the Greek gods. Every deity she paints on the page matches my perception of them so perfectly. The mortal characters whose lives touch Circe's make an impact that is no less lasting—Odysseus and his entire family in particular, but also characters like Daedalus. The pacing is pretty slow, but there's never a dull moment in Circe's life journey, and every little detail continues to be relevant throughout the story.
