Greek mythology icon, Circe. Just finished it and wow. To brief, it's a great tale on solitude, loneliness, humanity, and power. Miller spins the tale into Circe's perspective, and its beautiful. I'd read this if you're feeling a bit isolated and at a humble point in your life. My take on the book: its a fucking great look into what its like being a lonely, "dull" woman. Just how no matter what your status or power is, there's always something you can be put down about, and how isolating that can feel.
I read this book almost 2 years ago now, and it's been a book I find myself thinking about on and off randomly when just sitting and drinking my morning mud™️. It's the tale of Circe, a daughter of gods, and her battle with the gods' perspective on "mortals" and her own in contrast. This story bends genres, between mythical fantasy/folk tale, family drama, and romance. Circe feels like a classic folk tale you might read while researching Greek history, and stays true to the mythology while keeping its very readable appeal.
