I was hooked by the beginning, but the pacing went all weird to the point I kept thinking it was about to end but no, it kept going on and on and on. If you're a fan of Greek mythology I guess it's a fun fanfic type of story but I honestly felt it needed a bit of editing. Circe as a character had good insight but imo could've used some more unhinged-ness. It's like the plot kept trying to justify her actions and in doing so, judging her with a human sized scale which got me rolling my eyes at one point tbh. Better than TSoA, which I realize now, falls in the same pit with the justifying and rationalizing totally unjustifiable (but entretaining) decisions.
