Gratitude. A lovely story that i am grateful to have spent time with.

Gorgeous. One of my all-time favorite books

Riveting. I’m so glad I committed to finally reading this book. Why didn’t I do it sooner! Written so perfectly for depicting the historical context. Fascinating, hard to put down.

Moved me. Absolutely beautiful. Poetic, a work of art. I thoroughly enjoyed this interpretation and would love to read similar stories written in this style of other goddesses.

Captivating read. Great novel to breeze through without trying. Some parts got a bit slow, but not for long. Familiar characters spun with a twist.

Love it. If you love Greek mythology, this is a must read. Well researched and imaginative. It truly felt like reading the autobiography of a goddess.

Breathtaking metaphors !. Besides being a wonderfully female perspective on a “lower tier” goddess in a patriarchal eternity, the novel was beautifully written. What stood out to me was Miller’s one-of-a-kind metaphors that so perfectly painted the scenes and feelings. I’m no literature nerd, (aspiring future doctor,) but I found myself rereading/highlighting her metaphors to relish in their perfect portrayal of life.

Beautiful and Relatable. Seeing a classic retold from a female perspective is exciting enough but the way Miller depicts Circes inner thoughts and psychology is thrilling. My new favorite!!

Absolutely perfection I am in awe. Oh my god I am crying oh my god this is beautiful every daughter ever should read this omg my heart

So many facets. The novel produces and amplifies many dimensions of Circe that fill a most human shell of a goddess. In every chapter a new challenge leads to fresh perspectives on life and immortality, the divine and the profane.

Brilliant. Brought this amazing story to life from a perspective never seen before. Goes from finding her true power after being the laughing stock of her family to this amazing enchantress that everyone learns to respect and fears.

Circe. A good book, easy to enjoy the Circe and her wonders, grief and cleverness.

definitely gonna reread it. best book ever

Worth the read. Miller’s writing makes my heart ache with tenderness. Her characters are true and straight. Circe is beautifully written.

Loved it!. Great Tale of mythical fictions with life and love intertwined.

Felt overall slow paced….. I found myself creeping towards the end at a snails pace. However, there are definitely some parts that make this book impossible to put down and memorable. It probably didn’t help that I had stellar expectations after just wrapping up Achilles and then jumping into this one.

Beautiful read. Deep narrative and a curious story about a goddess growing into herself. Felt all the feelings with this one!

Slow. Uninspiring. It’s written really well and the wording is sweet. There’s great quotes, as well ideas but as far as a story it didn’t grip me, yes I agreed with the narrator about the cruelty but there wasn’t much but to agree? The plot that there was didn’t really entertain me, too many characters being introduced and mentioned. Not bad but I wouldn’t read it again

I love Circe. Sexy witch goes BRRRRR

Circe. Me encanto, muy buen libro. Muy bien redactado y divertido.

Circe by Madeline Miller. Through Circe’s eyes we see a marvel of transformation written in accessible prose. I was engaged throughout reading this gripping new perspective of classic mythology where so much of human frailty and power are portrayed. I will read again.

This is a Beautiful Feminist book. I absolutely loved this book. It took awhile to get hooked but trust me it was worth it. I started this book because I just finished The Song Of Achilles and I was still morning the ending. Overall this is a great book. I love how Odysseus mentioned Patroclus and Achilles a few times (I cried a bit when they were mentioned).

Page turner. Very different style of book and writing than I am used to, was very wary at first but not far into the initial chapters I couldn’t put it down. Although I felt the ending was abrupt and left her story unfinished, it was a great read.

Thanks. I am wonderfully surprised by Circe! Beautifully written, never boring. My only complaint is that it took me so many years to find it.

Circe. I couldn’t put this down. Eloquent with exceptional inferential comparisons between mortal (as mother) and god in Circe. A joy to read.

Witches Rise. Could not be a more timely book; this is the medicine we need right now as witches return. The revisioning of stories controlled far too long by interests against our own.

Wonderful. Loved this book

Excellent read. An adventure that tells the story of Circe and other greek mythology characters. An even better way to re-tell what was taught in grade school but in a more “movie-like manner”. Very good read, swallows you right up and never disappoints.

Incredible. This book blew my mind. Exceptional

Amazing. Beautifully and accurately written from a women’s perspective!! I will definitely be reading this one again!

Loved it. Page turner!

Exquisite. This was such a beautiful piece of literature to read both in its language and how images were painted for us but in how it made such an epic scope of stories we’ve heard time and time again feel so personal and intimate. Ugh, I already want to read it again and I’m already wishing I can read it for the first time all over again. I hope this one remains a classic and as integral to Circe’s story as the original myths themselves.

Favorite Mythos Author. This was my first book written by Miller and I absolutely adore it. Immediately after finishing it I had to go read her other book The Song of Achilles.

Circe was 🥲🥲🥲. Feels good and bad and everything in between

So good!. Loved loved the storyline, and the writing style. It was easy to feel the emotions and relate to them.

Awesome. I read this book after I finished “The Song of Achilles” and I was not disappointed. Another great story written so well. I loved it!!

Love it in both formats!. Read it once and listened once. Both times transported me. Madeline Miller’s craft at its best. Circe is a must read!

Long and drawn out. I wanted to love this like I lived song of Achilles but I did not. The beginning hooked me but then it dragged on far to long some parts of the story felt forced. Not the worst but had to force myself to finish it

Circe. Love a twist on the myths of old! Interesting read.

Don’t Skip This Read. Really enjoyed this read! The empathy you feel for Circe’s plight humanizes her in way you don’t immediately expect. The connection she and Penelope develop and the perspectives of Odysseus they offer adds a layer of connection to the Odyssey while painting him as a fallible and misguided human. Highly recommend this read.

Exquisite writing, a wonderful read.. I will say, I’m only halfway through the book. However, I keep finding my mind blown every time Circe focuses on a character and you realize who exactly that character is in mythology. The way Miller uses lesser known characters to introduce well known icons is *chef’s kiss* Wish I had read this sooner. Super satisfying read so far. Thank you Miller.

Just beautiful and well written. I have not read a book that has kept me glued to it for awhile. This book changed that. I could not put it down! I finished it in two days. Please read this!

Long and hard to follow. Long and a bit hard to follow.

Top 5 For Sure. Loved it!

Good read. It took me a minute to get into it because it’s not what I typically read but I really enjoyed it! I would definitely recommend.

Get to know Godess Circe !. I love Greek mythology and this book fleshes out Circe, brings her to life in 3D. Get to know who Circe really was and what she was like!

Beautiful story. I could not put this book down. As someone that has always been interested in greek mythology and the Odyssy, this book brought new wonders and a new voice to these common myths. A powerful message and strong feminist theme this book stands out against all other mythology books. It is beautifully written and focuses a lot on the internal battle within Circe. I loved how it puts a large time span into perspective and had me reflecting on my mortality

Absolutely beautiful. Such a beautiful and well written story. I could hardly put it down once I started.

Couldn’t put it down!. Excellent. Pure mythology through eloquent writing.

5 stars. I rarely give a book five stars but Circe is an exception. Beautifully written in which the gods come to “life”. This book had me looking up all the Greek gods and goddesses with flashbacks to a college humanities course I had mostly forgotten. Highly recommend to both women and men.

Epic. Epic! Really enjoyed it

Loved this book. What a wonderful read. Like laying on a boat and being rocked by the sea on a lovely journey.

Lived Up to the Hype. Amazing Read. Vivid. Loved it even more than Song of Achilles!

Loved it. This book is incredible. You can really feel just how much life Madeline Miller infused into this world, this Aiaia.
