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.
##开头还挺有趣,但之后就写成了一个披着希腊神话皮的晋江女尊文,一度以为自己在刷ao3同人。所谓的女权主义女性觉醒都是皮毛,更像是后期营销贴的标签。不过这个类型还挺适合HBO拍成剧的。
评分##Circe/Kirke原本在神话里就是一个另类的存在,Olympian众神本来就孩子气得要命(不然Athena为什么会为了Paris选Aphrodite而毁了特洛伊),而且离荷马史诗过了两千多年,很难有新梗,老剧情也快被抄烂了。所以这本可以说是个不可多得的新说了。不懂为什么豆瓣评分这么低,大概是希腊神话普及率不是很高?
评分##永恒只会让你变成疯子,狠狠抓着流失的东西哀鸣,而凡人却可以因生命的短暂而珍惜生活。看这本书就明白无论多么有文化有文采,当你的生活一成不变时,你写出来的东西有多幼稚。幼稚地去妄想所有的神(除了你的主角)都是疯子,妄想自己一直在给予获不得回报,妄想一个千年生命的女神最在意的和青春期少女无他。作者应该写mortals的故事而不是神,因为短板很明显。文笔还是不错偶有佳句。后四分之一才有点好看,前四分之三写来完全浪费时间。
评分##Why everything has to start with a romance?? That should be the least feminist of all.
评分##英文有声书。读了一阵无感就放弃了。开头那里写Circe见到她叔叔普罗米修斯,还在想写这俩人的话还挺带感。。。
评分##一手好牌打得稀烂大概就是这本书了……和我概念里的“女性视角讲希腊神话”真的完全不是一回事,这个第一人称真的把故事讲得太单薄了,希腊神话的厚重感宿命感和悲剧色彩全都丢掉,变成一个被家族唾弃的青少年女孩谈恋爱的故事,中后段稍微有点意思,结尾又很WTF,神真的会这么恋爱脑吗?还有这本书的narrator差评,如果不是她滥用whispering voice的话这个故事可能还能听

评分##Humbling women seems to me a chief pastime of poets. As if there can be no story unless we crawl and weep. They barely care if you are wicked. The only thing that makes them listen is power. 书名干脆翻译为《白莲女神误入凡尘之我要复仇》???????????? 你看女????锤不锤你就完了
评分##很少读希腊神话的我觉得耳目一新,非常喜欢!作者文笔非常好,有声书的朗读也好听。
