In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child--not 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 the mortals she has come to love.
##很少讀希臘神話的我覺得耳目一新,非常喜歡!作者文筆非常好,有聲書的朗讀也好聽。
##開頭還挺有趣,但之後就寫成瞭一個披著希臘神話皮的晉江女尊文,一度以為自己在刷ao3同人。所謂的女權主義女性覺醒都是皮毛,更像是後期營銷貼的標簽。不過這個類型還挺適閤HBO拍成劇的。
##英文有聲書。讀瞭一陣無感就放棄瞭。開頭那裏寫Circe見到她叔叔普羅米修斯,還在想寫這倆人的話還挺帶感。。。
##好好看!幾年前在上coursera的《奧德賽》的時候,就特彆喜歡Calypso和Circe。“她注定會愛上每一個經過的男人,但他們都不得不離開。” 這本書又把希臘神話知識給我鞏固瞭一遍,很棒很棒。

說是希臘神話其實就是富傢女覺得親戚朋友都空虛無聊就自己叛逆有想法占盡瞭階層的便宜之後自以為得到自由的空虛無聊故事。以高中生的視野中年婦女的語氣把神話復述成網文的書怎麼總會大獲好評?時間綫都是錯的。講播特彆假深沉,可讀成瑟曦,傑森,阿賈剋斯實在太土瞭。

##被媒體標簽為女權小說...好吧...有一個有自己思想有能力的女主角就是女權瞭麼....到是不知道在哪看到的#MeToo小說比較符閤內容。故事挺好的,講述的方式也很喜歡。但是被評價為page turning... Hmmm...這個故事還沒達到讓我拿起來放不下的地步,就是正常的速度看完吧..至於說什麼時間綫不太對啥的,Greek Mythology本來就有很多時間綫讓人細想起來很有問題的啊,比如Helen的年齡啊啥的...
