Let me start off with saying I appreciate pretty much every book I read (whether I like it or not). With that said, I still haven't finished Circe so my opinion should be taken at face value. The book is good. The main character, Circe, just annoys me..a LOT. She is a god for gods sake (pun intended) and yet she is acting like a fourteen year-old who hasn't figured out that she is a badass. I think maybe these feelings might come from the fact that before reading Circe I had just put down Kingdom of Ashes by Sarah J. Maas and the protagonist in that epic is the polar opposite of Circe. However, Circe's epic cowardliness is such a turn off for me. I find it hard to get behind books where the main character is shrimp-ish. But I'm looking forward to reading on in this novel and seeing if the protagonist grows a little backbone. The mythological elements of this particular novel are really interesting and this is a different kind of book then I would normally pick up but after millions of recommendations I knew I needed to give it a try. This book will mark my first 2019 read. Have you guys set reading goals for 2019 yet? If you have a Goodreads account there's an easy way you can set a goal and keep track by using the app. I have set mine to fifteen (excluding academic reads which to be honest will probably push it to at least twenty). More posts coming soon. As always, much love. xoxo -B
