As good as the others, but I started this thinking it was a trilogy or something. Looks like it will be much longer.

David rated a book it was amazing Circe by Madeline Miller (Goodreads Author)	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Works well as a novel even if you aren't versed in Greek myth, but if you do know your Homeric poems, Hesiod, Sophocles, Aeschylus, Euripides, Ovid, Vergil, etc., it's really amazing.
