Circe

So. disappointed.

I adored The Song of Achilles. I devoured it, I was drowning in tears by the last page, I promptly re-read it. Lovelovelove. So when I heard that Madeline Miller had finally published another book I was aquiver with anticipation. But, alas, Circe is very not The Song of Achilles.

In a word, Circe is boring. Nothing happens. The story spans like centuries and nothing happens. Agh. It's a bunch of name dropping of well-known mythological stuff and retellings of well-known mythological stuff and there's Circe on an island being very not-like-Circe-at-all. So boring.
