i loveeee greek mythology. i first read this book in middle school during my percy jackson phase, and i’ve read it many times since. i find it so interesting, and i think the way the stories are told in this book are a really great introduction to classic stories. this is my super beat up copy i’ve had for years

sobbed so hard all the way through the last few chapters of this… beautifully written, even if you aren’t typically someone who gravitates towards Greek mythology

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.
