Circe by Madeline Miller: Book Review

Links to stuff I mentioned:

* My review of The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller: https://youtu.be/xkY-tLORbWc

* My review of The Odyssey: https://youtu.be/KykQ5rtaPh0

* My review of Bulfinch's Mythology: https://youtu.be/GNhGwoDHOiQ

* My review of The Golden Fleece by Robert Graves: https://youtu.be/NUX9EUTFJ3Y

* My review of The Routledge Handbook of Greek Mythology by Robin Hard: https://youtu.be/8yuLBgQbJ8A

* For a counterpoint opinion, see this review.  This is the guy I mentioned who thinks that because the plot was overstuffed, the characters weren't developed at all: https://youtu.be/YywbNNZcCRs?si=TK91NtrW3CzD0xYy

* And here is the review I mentioned that advised not to look up the myths before reading this book: "One important thing I’d stress is that if you aren’t already familiar with the many Greek myths Miller touches on throughout the novel, don’t look them up before you finish it. Otherwise, it will spoil the plot." https://lonesomereader.com/blog/2018/8/3/circe-by-madeline-miller
