Thankfully there was a glossary at the end that explained everyone’s role in depth, but Scylla’s story stuck with me as I reached the end of the novel. I personally didn’t remember several of the characters mentioned, one of the most notable being Scylla. They were mentioned in order of importance, but not in a way that took away from Circe’s story. The novel focuses primarily on Circe’s narrative, but I enjoyed how the other mythical characters were described as well. Miller does a fantastic job of capturing the simultaneous feelings of hope and despair as she finally comes to know herself for who she truly is. One of my favorite parts of this novel is when Circe discovers she is a witch. Circe’s story is both tragic and beautiful, and each chapter allows a close look into how she personally dealt with the legends bearing her name.
