I'm really enjoying the relationship between Circe and Odyessus.

Chapter 15:
I can’t believe her father didn’t even come. No one came though they must have found out. Not that surprising in the end.

Chapter 18:
Why does Athena want the child? I hope he doesn’t die but Circe saw it herself, his lifeless body.

Chapter 19:

He was a great river in flood, and I must have channels ready every moment to safely draw his torrent.

I loved it. How the author explained her son’s childhood. Alas, he never aked Circe about her past, her adventures. Only his father’s. Maybe he’ll leave one day too.

Chapter 20:
Will he come back? Oh, please come back some day…
I immensely enjoyed this chapter. She was ready to have herself tormented forever and it was beyond words how she felt when she was spared.

Chapter 21:
Fuck. I know his father died but I think Circe is right. They are here to kill his son. It will be like that vision she saw long ago. Shit!! But it was a mistake on Odysseus’s part.
So, I finished the chapter, and yeah, Odysseus was damaged in his own way. He couldn’t be the father he could have to any of his sons. Let’s see what Penelope does.

P.S. This book is just amazing, isn’t it? Calypso, Daedalus, Monitaur, and so many stories sandwiched in the best way!

And I really liked the double sided personality of Odyessus. Like the good hero and the hateful warrior type of thing.

Yeah, I kinda liked him and enjoyed his tricks in the start but I came to dislike his ways later. It was excellently done!

So true. I kind of felt bad for Telemachus in a way.

Me too esp when Circe asked him if he was there to kill her son and he explained everything.

Who do you prefer, Telemachus or Telegonus?

Telemachus 😋, and you?

Same. Although Telegonus is really sweet.

Yeah, he is. They both were good.
