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.
“I will pass over the fact that you think me a mare to be bred.” Absolute savage coming from Circe. Solid 4.5???? rounded up to 5. To summarise, everything about it was really good and as the title suggests, the story is told and narrated from the pers...

Only that: we are here. This is what it means to swim in the tide, to walk the earth and feel it touch your feet. This is what it means to be alive (and mortal..) Outside of Aiaia, a constellation of your own.
评分4.5. 超越我的期待值,尽管我知道这是本广受欢迎的好书,但对于我这个并不常看fantasy类别读者,且因为小时候读希腊神话故事总有something is lost的感受的人来说,这是本让我开始对retelling这一个小类别的书籍重建信心和兴趣的开始。Circe这本书最突出的是作者掌握了一种很自然的平衡状态,在希腊神话故事里出名人物和场景作为整体环境中,娓娓道来主人公的故事,展现的是她的经历和成长。在作者笔下,感觉那些希腊神话中曾作为陪衬和被遗忘的女神是如此栩栩如生,Circe正是如此。她这个角色是如此动态,如此“人”性:她对自己身份的认知和自我怀疑,叛逆,脆弱与顽强,错误与惩罚。我们需要更多的这样从女性视觉看历史,看神话,看过去的retelling.
评分我竟然听完了,真的就只有最后1/4比较有趣,之前的所有角色都predictable到了一定程度。全世界都对不起女主,所以她被流放前做的那些和她同族一样冷酷自私的事并不妨碍她稳站道德高地。Daedalus做错了什么被写成和她同病相怜的怪物制造者......结尾也够双标,只写她和Telemachus结合(先吃完不会变老的种族福利),而不提Penelope和Telegonus这对。小说结尾Prometheus应该已经获释了吧,对女主那么重要的角色好歹提一下啊(不了不了,免得女主又要谈恋爱????)。这个玛丽苏故事就是上半年各家书店推荐的女性小说,挺失望的。
评分被媒体标签为女权小说...好吧...有一个有自己思想有能力的女主角就是女权了么....到是不知道在哪看到的#MeToo小说比较符合内容。故事挺好的,讲述的方式也很喜欢。但是被评价为page turning... Hmmm...这个故事还没达到让我拿起来放不下的地步,就是正常的速度看完吧..至于说什么时间线不太对啥的,Greek Mythology本来就有很多时间线让人细想起来很有问题的啊,比如Helen的年龄啊啥的...
评分3.5 虎头蛇尾 still a beautiful retelling though
