Circe

The writing of this was gorgeous and for a story spanning this long of a life I think it kept its pace up well. This story just didn't land all the way for me because of Circe herself. The narrative felt like it was contradicting her characterization. Maybe it was intentional? It seemed like i was supposed to find circe to be a strong character but she opened herself to anyone that wanted her until the very end, and seemingly just happened upon someone who didn't take advantage of her rather than a real choice. Maybe that was just my interpretation but I couldn't really connect with her in the way i wanted to and in a book that spans one characters entire life and doesn't have necessarily the strongest secondary players, I feel i should've connected with her more.
