If you loved how Circe reimagines Greek mythology from a nuanced, personal perspective, you'll be swept away by The Song of Achilles. This novel follows Patroclus and Achilles through the events of the Iliad, giving voice to their desires, flaws, and growth. Like Circe, you'll see mythic events through intimate eyes and experience the heartbreak and beauty of forging your own destiny against the will of the gods.

Just as Circe immerses you in a vividly realized world of gods and magic, The Bear and the Nightingale transports you to medieval Russia, where folklore and reality intertwine. Vasya, the heroine, navigates a landscape alive with spirits and ancient traditions, and you'll be enchanted by the lush descriptions, atmospheric setting, and the sense of wonder that comes from a world brimming with history and magic.

If you were drawn to Circe’s struggle for agency and voice in a world shaped by powerful men and gods, you’ll find The Silence of the Girls a compelling next read. Following Briseis, a captive during the Trojan War, this novel gives a voice to the women who have often been silenced in myth—much like Circe herself. You'll appreciate the resilience, depth, and inner transformation of its unforgettable heroine.

If you were captivated by Circe’s transformation from a marginalized goddess into a powerful, self-assured woman, Uprooted offers a similar arc of personal growth. Agnieszka, the protagonist, must challenge her own limitations and rise to meet a magical threat. Watching her evolve—both in her magic and her understanding of herself—will echo the sense of empowerment and self-discovery you loved in Circe.

If you appreciated the gradual, lyrical unfolding of Circe—where the journey is as important as the destination—you’ll be enchanted by The Gracekeepers. Set in a floating, fragmented world, this novel lingers on the private moments, emotional shifts, and atmospheric details of its characters. The slow burn allows you to sink into the story’s mood and the subtle transformations of its protagonists.
