I mildly enjoyed the intermittent trials and almost-adventures sprinkled throughout Circe. The plot lines that I expected to blossom ended up leaving me with that feeling you get after eating a veggie burger when you were craving a real one. Miller's beautiful prose could not save the overarching blandness of the story.

Disclaimer: I do recognize that I set myself up for failure by falling head over heels for The Song of Achilles, which is a much better work by MM.
