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.
我竟然听完了,真的就只有最后1/4比较有趣,之前的所有角色都predictable到了一定程度。全世界都对不起女主,所以她被流放前做的那些和她同族一样冷酷自私的事并不妨碍她稳站道德高地。Daedalus做错了什么被写成和她同病相怜的怪物制造者......结尾也够双标,只写她和Telemachus结合(先吃完不会变老的种族福利),而不提Penelope和Telegonus这对。小说结尾Prometheus应该已经获释了吧,对女主那么重要的角色好歹提一下啊(不了不了,免得女主又要谈恋爱????)。这个玛丽苏故事就是上半年各家书店推荐的女性小说,挺失望的。
评分3.5 虎头蛇尾 still a beautiful retelling though
评分冰冷,残酷而瑰丽,无论是凡人还是神灵,女性总面临相似的恐惧与困境。无尽的大理石柱廊和其上跳跃的火焰,神拥有庄严的力量和漫长得望不见尽头的寿命,但生命却从指尖如砂砾般流逝,无从获得美丽而不朽的爱。
评分再次感激书友的推荐,非常好看,这本书每天陪着我,像一个闺蜜,读完还有点怅然若失。女神如此动人...之前超喜欢Atwood的penelopiad,这两个故事走不同路线,都很好看。Atwood写作更厉害,这个故事读完就爱上了这个女神。最后大赞audible,超磁性声音
评分A badass feminist divine rebel witch who is as stubborn as a rock tries to make a life of her own. A wonderful retelling but sometimes it’s hard to figure out what the author is trying to say because the familiar Greek mythological stories rule over the character and the overall story. #1911
