Review: Circe

Circe by Madeline Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This must have been great fun to write. It basically ties together many (all?) of the myths involving Circe, and ends up spanning many (most?) of the greatest Greek myths.

I confess, occasionally it seemed like a bit of a stretch. Not that she veered away from the myths all that much (from what I could tell at least), but it seemed like she was just trying to connect the dots, which seemed to make the storyline a bit awkward. Also, much of the action seems to happen offstage.

But otherwise it's a great introduction to the story of an often overlooked character from Greek mythology.
