I finished Circe a few days ago, and overall my opinion has been one of I enjoyed it. I liked Circe's growth overall as a character, though there were things that I wished were a bit different. This story takes the bullet points that history has given to Circe and expands on them to give those points depth. One of the moments where the story goes more in depth is giving an explanation as to why Circe turns people into pigs, and I think this was a poignant interpretation. I also enjoyed how this story felt like it was told from a future Circe who is telling you her life story (perhaps by a hearth). Though this detail did at times make me feel a little distant from the Circe we are reading about. So, if you are a fan of Greek myth and want a story that stays close to the original myth while adding some logical explanations this would probably be a great read for you.

The only thing I wish this story had done differently was giving more depth and screen time to the relationships that Circe has with the women around her. There are a lot of complex relationships present, but I feel like they weren't given nearly as much time as they should have been, really they were just moments that seem to pass by in comparison to Circe's other relationships. But, that's my only complaint. Overall, I thought this was really well written and had a nice conclusion.
