    Circe by Madeline Miller | Book Review
    Circe by Madeline Miller #1 New York Times bestseller...Was this Book worth the hype? This would fit within Witchathon TBR!
    "Circe is a strange child-not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power-the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters"
    "A bold and subversive retelling of the goddess's story," this #1 New York Times bestseller "manages to be both epic and intimate in its scope, recasting the most infamous female figure from the Odyssey as a hero in her own right".

    Good video. This book was like a coming of age story for me even though she’s immortal.

    This is the first review I've watched that I agree with! For me, it was a good story but I did not feel empowered after reading. The first half of the story was very slow for me and I did not feel connected to the side characters such as Daedalus, Odysseus, or even her siblings. If felt very "tell, not show" for me. I also rated a 3.5!

      yeah exactly. Good but still that missing element of connecting (for me)

    Circe was one of my favorite books of 2018. I thought her writing style was so evocative and unique. I really enjoyed your review! Thanks for the video!

    This was actually one of my favorite reads of the year! But I totally agree that it's not a novel you're desperate to reach the end of it. It's definitely all-around slower paced.
    Thanks for sharing this great review!

    • @LEFTONREAD
      @LEFTONREAD  6 лет назад +1

      Natalie Valentín-Espiet yes exactly! Also each “encounter” etc was stand alone in a way so there wasn’t that rush to finish it. Thanks so much for watching ❤️

    I really relate to this review a lot - I felt very similar. I loved the second half, but I felt like the first half dragged a little for me, but the writing style was really something special so it kept me going!

    Great review! It's on my TBR list and I plan to get to before year-end because it seems like it's appearing on a lot of 2018 "Best of..." lists.

    • @LEFTONREAD
      @LEFTONREAD  6 лет назад

      Phyllis Rhodes yes that’s exactly what encouraged me to read it! While I thoroughly enjoyed / think it was great, I’ve read some pretty amazing books this year, so it won’t be making my personal list of “best of”s. ❤️

      hasan lewis sounds cliche but it’s hard to say because I really read a little of everything. I do find I naturally gravitate towards fantasy/ sci fi, non fiction and fiction ... yikes and poetry 😩😂
