Consider Circe by Madeline Miller. Recommended by 7 sources.
“Lyrical, first-person retelling follows Circe from a gilded childhood among gods to long exile among mortals, trading spectacle for close psychological and sensory detail. Best as an immersive character study: it enlarges a sidelined mythic figure into a fully voiced life and lingers on desire, power, and loneliness. Limiting when you want taut plotting or variety of viewpoint — long descriptive passages and repeated thematic turns can feel indulgent, and some dramatic episodes are summarized rather than fully staged.”
