Madeline Miller’s Circe is widely praised for its lyrical prose, strong feminist themes, and fresh take on Greek mythology. Readers enjoyed the character development and immersive storytelling. However, some found the pacing slow and desired deeper exploration of certain mythological elements. Overall, it’s a compelling and thought-provoking read.
Readers who enjoy The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller or A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin would relish Circe by Madeline Miller. Fans of mythological retellings, strong female protagonists, and richly detailed world-building will find this novel captivating. The blend of classical mythology and modern narrative is particularly appealing.
