I wanted to like this story more than I did, and I’ll probably forget most of the plot in a matter of weeks. I wish this story had more complete world-building. Although the novel centers Circe, the side characters were significantly more interesting. The book’s biggest accomplishment is that I now want to reread the Odyssey.
