This took me a long time to get into - it has a very slow start. Once there was drama and action, I really got into it. I loved the twist that Madeline Miller put into Circe's life and her struggles. Seeing her become someone other than broken was really refreshing. It was a nice take on an old Greek mythology tale. I do wish the start had been more interesting, but I think the rest of the novel makes up for that. Definitely a read for you if you like Greek mythology!
