So freaking good!!

So engrossing! Been reading this book non-stop ever since it arrived at my house

Didn't expect the open ending lol

Omg I ship Lucy and Mr Crackenthorpe so freaking much like I'm not even joking

Alexander is so sweet 🥺

Lots of interesting characters in here, I like it

Oooh I love how we get multiple povs in this book, and now it's Lucy's time!

I love how the story went full circle

I'm such a dumbass, somehow I forgot that Penelope isn't just a random nobody. I was surprised when Circe said Penelope's father lives in Sparta and her cousin was the queen of Sparta. I was like "what a random piece of knowledge to know about your lover's wife". And then Circe asked about Helen and I thought "huh, that name sounds familiar." Finally I made the connection *facepalm*

What a miserable story

Mentions of Achilles and Patroclus ♥️

Odysseus finally!!!!

Arghh it wasn't! Guess I'll have to wait for his appearance still

Finally, Odysseus has arrived

How is it that I still don't find even one character likeable. Whereas I fell completely in love with Patroclus, Achilles and came to love many of the side characters. Everyone in Circe could die and I still wouldn't feel a thing

Hmmm, so far I still prefer The Song of Achilles over Circe, it still makes for a gripping read though

Circe is quite a lame character compared to her family members and relatives. An engaging storyteller nonetheless

I have just finished reason The song of Achilles, can't wait to start with this one! I love Madeline Miller's writing style, it's so beautiful

Such a beautiful story, I have tears in my eyes. I can't wait to start Circe next

Oh my god, of course Briseis is in love with Patroclus. She's smart, she knows he's the one who asked Achilles to choose her and in turn, saving her life.

I'm so mad at the movie Troy for fucking up everything. Patroclus is Achilles' lover, not his cousin, and Briseis is not Achilles' lover, in fact, she's in love with his lover. Damn, how did it all get so twisted

I love that Achilles is such a huge simp for Patroclus, he would do anything Patroclus asked without question

Oh shittttt

It's a traaaaaaaapppp

I can't believe Achiless just pulled the age old "let's compare the size of our hands" move. We have a rizz master over here

Oh godddd this is like when the popular high school jock chooses you, a nobody, as his girlfriend to the amazement of everyone. Damn, Achilles got me blushing and twirling my hair. I understand you, Patroclus.

Oh god I'm already crying

Who would have thought 10yo Patroclus is lame af lol

Of course this is the ending

Why couldn't they just let the boys have those watermelons, it'll be fair if everyone has one piece each. The rules really don't make sense sometimes

I'm craving for a watermelon rn
