Readers say *Circe* by Madeline Miller is a beautifully written, imaginative retelling that gives voice and depth to a lesser-known mythological figur...
My first dive into Greek mythology, and I enjoyed it overall. Circe is beautifully written, with vivid descriptions that bring the world and characters to life. I especially liked how it challenges the idea of perfect gods, showing that immortality can be more of a curse than a blessing. While I appreciated the themes and atmosphere, parts of the story felt slow, which made it harder to stay fully engaged. Still, it was an immersive introduction to Greek mythology.
