I found the first half of this book to be really slow - we cover years and years of Circe’s life and so many stories, told in a stream of conscious manner, which made it hard for me to latch on to the overall story.

However, once we hit the halfway point, it really picked up and we got to linger on some intense, beautiful moments in Circe’s story that really felt like the soul of the book!

I’ve heard Achilles is better than this one, so I’m looking forward to reading that one.
