I started reading this book with such high expectations as Song of Achilles is one of my favorite books. I am so glad that it did not disappoint. The writing style is so poetic and yet it doesn't feel forced, the characters are so complex and alive. I feel like the best way to describe this book is in a simple word: womanhood. Despite being a goddess, a witch, a titan, Circe feels more human than anything. The way every wave of emotions was described hit so close to home, it felt real, because it is. Female rage at its finest and I loved every second of it. I genuinely can't wait to read more of Madeline Miller's books, she truly has my heart
