I feel you, Goddess.Ĭirce is really the only one I liked in this whole book. And then men come to the island trying to rape her and that’s why she turns them into pigs, and like. And then the gods start sending their naughty ass daughters to her island and she’s just sick of it. Trust, these Gods are NOT fun.īut seriously Circe gets punished because she told the truth about what happened to this other bitch nymph named Scylla (yeah, the monster) and then she’s forced to live in exile for all eternity? But then people like to randomly show up on her island because the rules didn’t say nobody can visit her, she just can’t leave the island. It just doesn’t make it Disney-fied like what we want it to be.

There’s like a directory at the end of the book if you’re really interested, but honestly a lot of them come from what we learned in Greek Mythology. Like, apparently Titans and Olympians only care about power? But it’s whatever because I don’t even KNOW him from before, so clearly Circe is superior. Her exile was almost a blessing so she could get away from her hateful relatives.Īeetes is her youngest brother, and in the beginning he was like really loving and super nice to her, and then he freaking ditches her like she’s old news and like, was it all fake? I’m so confused, and it makes me angry because he was her first and only friend and then he just ditched her because he was destined to rule a kingdom and she wasn’t.

However, her parents are real jerks because apparently she wasn’t destined to marry an Olympian or whatever, so her mom was like “eh, I’ll make better kids than this one.” Circe is technically the oldest out of her and her three siblings and yet they treat her like she’s trash. She is technically a Titan because Helios is a Titan, but Perse is a nymph and so her blood isn’t exactly pure, but she’s way stronger than her mother.
