Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Perdita Weeks delivers a performance that elevates 'Circe' beyond mere words on a page. Her delivery is both confident and nuanced, capturing the complexity of Circe’s character with authenticity. The story unfolds at a perfect pace, balancing moments of intense drama with quieter, introspective scenes that allow listeners to truly connect with Circe's journey. One slight critique might be the pacing in some of the earlier mythological setup; it can feel slightly slow for those familiar with 'The Odyssey.' However, this is quickly overshadowed by Weeks’ masterful portrayal and Miller’s beautifully crafted narrative. This audiobook isn't just about retelling a classic—it’s about discovering a new hero who defies expectations.
