Goodreads beskrivning
In the house of Helios, god of the sun and
mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange
child--neither 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 and menace the gods themselves.
Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts, and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus.
But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from or with the mortals she has come to love.

Mina åsikter
Det här råkar vara en av de böcker jag läste en ganska stor del utav och sedan av någon oförklarlig anledning lade ifrån mig. Den här boken var mycket snabbläst och jag älskar att läsa böcker som innehåller grekisk mytologi, hjältar och gudar. Boken var riktigt spännande och intressant. Det faktum att Circe håller på en del med magi gör naturligtvis det hela ännu bättre. Circe är därtill en stark kvinnlig huvudkaraktär, vilket alltid ger ett plus i min bok.
