What a fantastic analysis, so articulate and insightful! I bought Circe when it first came out but hadn’t gotten the chance to get into yet. The way you spoke about it makes me even more excited to read it now.

Honestly after reading The Song of Achilles, I swore to myself that I’d read any book that Madeline Miller puts out. I’m so excited to read Circe.

Thank you for this! It was one of my most anticipated releases of the year and I got it as soon as I could, but I've seen some mixed reviews since then, so seeing this renewed my excitement for it!

This book was absolutely fantastic, watching Circe grow was so beautiful and heartbreaking.

I realize I’m a bit late to the party, but I just finished Circe earlier today and was curious to read some reviews. I just wanted to say that your summation was absolutely amazing! You touched on everything, large and small, that I adored about this book and you even found the words to talk about the feelings I was having about it, but couldn’t articulate. So thank you for sharing your thoughts! I now have somewhere to send people to explain why they need to read this special book. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

And I’m now a subscriber, so I can’t wait to see some of your other reviews, and possibly get turned on to some new authors/books to read this year. Keep up your amazing work!

I’m very excited to read this book, as it seems focused very much on character development and female empowerment, and especially as a half Greek woman myself! Just ordered this book because of your wonderful review!

♨️Your Analysis ALONE is why I just read CIRCE it has left me with a wonderful feeling, this story is so different from anything that I have ever read.
The book structure being lineal was impeccably & so ambitious.

I love how they showed CIRCE's evolution, with experience came Power, CIRCe became so strong and unwilling to back down in the face of such Power. Thank you, thank you so much .

Ugh, I cannot wait to read this. I just know it's going to sing to my soul.
