Once you pick up Circe by Madeline Miller, you'll never want to put it down. The page-turner tells the story of Circe, a daughter who is born into the house of Helios. She is not as powerful as her father and not nearly as alluring as her mother, so she decides to make mortals as friends. One day, she discovers she has the power of witchcraft, which threatens Zeus. Once she's exposed, Circe is forced to a deserted island, where she encounters all sorts of beasts. Eventually, Circe has to make a decision: should she be mortal with her friends? Or return to the world of gods that she was born into?
