(Starred review.) Drawing on the mythology of the classical world, Miller deftly weaves episodes of war, treachery, monsters, gods, demigods, heroes, and mortals into her second novel of the ancient world.… [A]absorbing and atmospheric. —Jane Henriksen Baird, formerly at Anchorage Public Library, AK

[S]tirring.… Miller beautifully voices the experiences of the legendary sorceress Circe.… This immersive blend of literary fiction and mythological fantasy demonstrates that the Greek myths are still very relevant today.
Booklist


(Starred review.) A retelling of ancient Greek lore gives exhilarating voice to a witch."Monsters are a boon for gods. Imagine all the prayers." So says Circe, a sly, petulant, and finally commanding voice that narrates the entirety of Miller's dazzling second novel.
