Circé
Karine P. rated ★ 8/10
C'est l'histoire de la magicienne Circé, fille du titan Hélios, exilée sur une île isolée pour ses pouvoirs et sa nature indépendante. Sur Aiaia, elle affine ses compétences en sorcellerie, côtoie des figures mythologiques comme Ulysse et Hermès, et découvre sa propre force et son identité. C'est un récit sur la solitude, la découverte. J'ai redécouvert la mythologie !
