![]() ![]() ![]() Which I love Greek mythology (seriously I went through a phase when that was the only thing I read for a good 6 months to a year) but there are already so many books featuring these myths. Both are insightful and are inspired by time periods that aren’t usually featured in literature (Second Sino-Japanese War and Medieval Russia).Ĭirce features - you guessed it - Circe and is a retelling on parts of the Odyssey and other tales of Greek Mythology. The Girl in the Tower was extremely whimsical and captures that perfect balance of Fairy Tales and History. Poppy Wars was wonderfully dark and shocking with a complex world. ![]() Unfortunately it didn’t live up to the hype - and that’s not to say I didn’t like it, because I did… but it didn’t feel like it was on the same level as the other books. Meaning it beat both The Poppy Wars (review here) which was my favorite book of 2018 and it beat The Girl in the Tower (which was the fantastic sequel to The Bear and the Nightingale- a Russian Medieval Fantasy novel). ![]() To be honest, going into this I had extremely high expectations as it was the winner for Goodreads Best Fantasy novel. “I thought once that gods are the opposite of death, but I see now they are more dead than anything, for they are unchanging, and can hold nothing” ![]()
