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. 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.

Content warning Mild spoilers about background and context

I liked it, after the end there is information about characters (both mortal and immortal) which was also enjoyable. I did not know the book was so adjacent to Odyssey, it is quite a specific part of it though... I liked the tension between mortal and immortal all throughout, recommended.
