Description
Isolated on the island of Aiaia, Circe's journey unfolds as she dives deeper into the art of transformation—both of herself and those who cross her path. Here, solitude and introspection become her closest companions, enabling her to harness her magical prowess while confronting the loneliness that stems from a life of exile. With each choice she makes, Circe faces the repercussions of her actions, revealing an internal struggle between her desire for connection and her need for autonomy.
As fate brings legendary figures into her life—heroes who seek glory and revenge, gods who wield their influence, and mortals whose lives intertwine with her own—Circe learns that power can be both a weapon and a shield. Throughout her tale, she emerges not just as a figure of myth but as a fierce embodiment of resilience and self-discovery, challenging the boundaries of gender and control while shaping her destiny on her own terms.

View AllMe esperaba más brujería y más dolor, por ser la historia de Circe. Aún así, ha sido muy interesante de leer y me ha recordado lo estúpidos que con los dioses.
No he leído La Odisea, todavía, pero vi Epic: The Musical y quedé encantada con Odiseo. Con este libro le odié. Telémaco desde luego que no se parece a él y muchas gracias.
Esperaba ver más furia o venganza por parte de Circe, he de decir que sabía muy poco o casi nada de ella, pero a veces su pasividad y su necesidad de que la valoraran gente como esa, me ponía de los nervios.
De todos modos me ha gustado su versión y he llegado a empatizar con su historia.
"No puedo soportar este mundo ni un momento más.
Entonces, muchacha, crea otro."
My local library did a “blind date with a book” through February, where the books were wrapped with a quote and genre written on the wrapping. This is not a book I would typically choose for myself but I do love Green mythology so was excited to read it. It that’s your thing, it’s a pretty interesting read!
