I wanted to love this book so much. I tried and tried and almost DNFed it a few times because it was so boring. This book had a lot of hype and I went into it with high expectations. I love Circe (from the little I know about Greek mythology) but this book was completely different from her. This shows Circe as an ugly and weak person which she is not. And another thing that offends me a little is the way Madeline Miller writes women. In her books, there are only two types of women, either very cruel or completely harmless.
