I thought a good chunk of the book would be about Circe honing her craft, but for someone in exile she enouncters a lot of people ! It's mainly a telling of the events, big and small, that happen during her exile until she figures out what she wants from her life.
Since this is based on a Greek myth, be prepared for the shenanigans of the Gods. A good chunk of characters in this book are complete assholes, as is to be expected. This didn't make the story more interesting though, and I found myself getting a bit bored with it. Circe herself always felt quite softspoken even when she was learning to stand up for herself.
Overall this is just an average book for me. I was really into the fact that Circe was a witch, but I ended up not having much interest past that. It just ended up feeling repetitive, and cannot live up to the hype of its predecessor.
