I was warned beforehand that this book was no p just vibes, and although I do value books that are more plot driven I thought I'd enjoy this since I liked her previous book. And while I did appreciate her writing it did get kind of confusing sometimes and sorta complicated to understand. The book did have numerous dull parts as well. I almost put it down numerous times. The book was still nice. I understand why people may love it, but sadly it just wasn't for me.
I never read the original tale so maybe this is just me. But Circe getting with her son's half brother when she also had sex with his father was well ws kind of disturbing.
