such beautiful stories, I would recommend them both especially if you are into Greek mythology or if you want to learn more about it. the characters' development is so good and they're beautifully written.
I read this in a single sitting, unable to put it down for long, delighted and enchanted by Miller's deft reweaving of Circe and Odysseus and Telemachus into people that I never imagined they were yet believed as complete truth.
Have so far only read The Song of Achilles and I could not have loved it more. Moved fast and fluidly, I could not put it down. Was more than just a rewrite of an ancient classic, was a story of love and kinship. Was a story of being.
Im already a sucker for good mythology books. If I had no encouragement before to read the Odyssey, here is something to push me there, if only to see if I can find this characterisation of Odysseus, and the potentially contrasting portrayal of Circe. This is such a full and honest look at a woman’s inner world who owns to her emotions and actions, both gracious and petty. Circe here seems a mix of Katniss Everdeen and Granny Weatherwax. A survivor who makes the hard choices, but who can see gra...
Both of Madeline Miller's books were incredible. I've always loved Greek Mythology, but admittedly I didn't know much about Circe. Miller gave this character a full story, with emotion and depth - something which women in mythology are often robbed of. And I don't go a day without thinking about The Song of Achilles... I think it will stay with me forever.
Nie jest to książka która bardzo przypadła mi do gustu, kilka razy musiałam się zmuszać do czytania dalej, jest ona dobrze napisana, ale ani fabuła ani bohaterowie nie są bardzo wciągający. Nie mam wrażenia że chcę się z nimi znaleźć w trakcie tej historii, a na tym powinny polegać książki fantasy i nie tylko. Wiem że jest to jedna z popularniejszych książek i właśnie tego nie rozumiem, po za treningami i motywem już bardzo oklepanym, zakazaną miłością nic ciekawego nie można znaleźć w tej książ...
Ho letto solo La Canzone Di Achille per ora. Mi è piaciuto ma sinceramente non ho trovato il capolavoro di cui molti avevano parlato. È una bella storia, appassionante e scorrevole ma lo stile non è sempre il massimo e anche i personaggi non li ho trovati così caratterizzati. Diciamo che mi è piaciuto, è una bella lettura ma non l'ho trovata così eclatante.
4 gwiazdki! Książka mi się bardzo podobała. Chodź momentami była nudnawa i opisy bardzo często się powtarzały. Co mi nie do końca pasowało. Ale była serio bardzo fajna i ciekawa zakończenie złamało moje serce.
I will never get tired of rereading these two books!
I didn't even cry but it made me smile and mesmerizing by the end of story. It's just full of grieves.
I cried a lot- I appreciate a book that can make me root for love.
Madeline Miller tells a powerful love story in a completely original way. This was the second of her books that I have read and loved. Circe astounds. I'm now a fan for life.
so happy to say i have read both the song of achillies and circe. i admire madeline millers writing so so much
two very beautiful stories
