Circe

I am rating this book 4 stars because I appreciate how well-written it is. The narrative voice is so well done, and the story line weaves so many mythological stories together so seamlessly. Circe makes for a very intriguing character. I liked reading her story. It is refreshing to have her at the center of the tale with all the great “heroes” and gods as peripheral characters in her story.

That being said, I found several chapters of this book slow and boring. I feel that maybe it could have been shorter with some of Circe's life being less drawn out. I do not regret reading it, though. I enjoyed most of it and would recommend it to others.
